In today's post, I want to share a podcast that looks at 3 of the foremost thinkers of the Ancient World who all lived within the same sort of 100 year period. Bettany Hughes, a historian and broadcaster, talks about her research into these philosophers and how their advice would stand us in good stead today.
One of the main points of their teaching that Bettany shares is the need to not learn things by rote but to question everything, something I've touched on once or twice here.
Have a listen. http://m.historyextra.com/podcast/ancient-egypt/ancient-thinkers-and-history-madness
