Recently I’ve had my head stuck in old books of wisdom like the works of Plato, the bible and the Bhagavad-Gita. I thought I’d extract lessons from these ancient texts that could be useful for the hyper-modern world of today.

It really did jolt me awake. What stood out were the constant exhortations not to be so self-centered. This touched me because I think I’ve fallen into the trap of over-focusing on me, whether it’s finding health hacks, optimising my productivity or finding personal happiness. It’s all about me, me, me and not about others. In this podcast, I summarise some of the key lessons and describe how we can rebalance our lives to think more about others.
