Self-Help from the Middle Ages What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living

In this charming journey into the past, a historian reveals medieval wisdom that can still guide us today
"One of the most compelling medieval history books I have ever read."
-Ian Mortimer, author ofThe Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England
Never in history, Jones marvels inSelf-Help from the Middle Ages, has so much energy and talent gone into studying how the mind works as in the medieval centuries. Although today we think of the Seven Deadly Sins as a catalog of forbidden behavior, in the Middle Ages, at the height of their currency, they were a path to self-knowledge and self-forgiveness. Together, pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust were a psychological map that laid out seven basic patterns of thought, showing how our thinking can go astray and how we can find our way home.
InSelf-Help from the Middle Ages,Jones explores each sin, searching the hellscapes of Hieronymous Bosch and Giotto, the intimate confessions of Dante and Margery Kempe, and the personal struggles of Francis of Assisi and Catherine of Siena. Along the way he discovers a treasure trove of lost truths about temptation, frustration, addiction, compulsion, burnout, rage, fear, anxiety, and grief that still pulse with life. This audiobook is a gift to all who love history and anyone who has ever sought wisdom from the past.
