Ever wondered how worldly wisdom from hundreds of years ago still holds relevance today?

Let's teleport back to the 17th century, and learn from the Jesuit priest, Balthasar Gracian de Morales, author of 'The Art of Worldly Wisdom.' 

This particular episode unveils the life of Balthasar, and the later and influential contribution of the Society of Jesus, The Jesuits, a Roman Catholic order renowned for its educational, missionary, and charitable establishments and the spearhead for The Catholic Counter-Reformation.  

Key Points from the Episode:

• Get ready to soak in the wisdom from 'The Art of Worldly Wisdom,' an age-old guide that addresses character, intelligence, success, and the power of dedication in Yoda-like sayings. 
• Fasten your seatbelts as we unravel the intriguing narrative of Balthasar’s rise to popularity against all odds some 300 years after his death among his admirers including eminent philosophers like Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. 
• We'll explore his defiance of the superiors and the resulting aftermath. 
• But the surprises don't end here! You’ll discover how his book made its way to the top of the Washington Post bestsellers list a century later. 
• Join us as we dissect one of the most profound maxims from his book: understanding the delicate equilibrium between outshining your boss and letting your deeds make the noise--something ironically this Jesuit never wrote about. 

This discussion promises to be as enlightening as it is engaging. Don't miss it!
