About this listen

Imagine life without the bits and bobs that makes it easy—cars, processed foods, social media, and everything in-between. While these amenities do make everyday life more manageable, there is a reason we are dealing with an onslaught of ailments unique to the modern age, from diabetes and obesity to the devastating psychological and physical effects of loneliness. But what if we were to step back and really think about what it means to live a good life? What if we focused on the basics—just like our ancient ancestors had to do? How would each one of us, so used to the trappings of modern life, make out on the other side?

Find out for yourself with Ancient Wisdom for the Modern World, 10 interview-based episodes that take ancient designs and applies them to modern lives. Your expert is Prince EA, an artist and inspirational speaker who’s spent the greater part of his career thinking about the ancient world. Get to the root of what it means to be human by studying contemporary “blue zones” in Italy, California, and Japan. Discover the health benefits of fasting, intentional grounding, and tantra meditation. See how you can use “flow” to improve athletic, academic, and creative performance. Get some tips on how you can build and maintain better friendships. And go beyond lecture-style learning with curated homework assignments at the end of every episode, extending the reach, impact, and benefits of this course beyond your immediate computer screen.

And that’s not all. Ancient Wisdom for the Modern World will introduce you to a range of experts from neuroscience researchers to psychologist PhDs. Hear from a whole cast of characters with direct and developed knowledge about fasting, nutrition, athletics, flow states, meditation, friendships, and so much more. Enjoy diverse and unique perspectives that stretch across age groups, genders, backgrounds, and beliefs. And walk away from the course not only with knowledge but a real toolkit you can use to apply ancient wisdoms to your own life.
