SELF HELP FROM THE MIDDLE AGES (HB)

What can a twelfth-century monk teach us about burnout, envy, or despair? Far more than we might imagine. The remedies we seek for our 21st-century anxieties may have been with us all along – written in brown Gothic ink on lambskin seven hundred years ago. In this book, historian Peter Jones travels through Europe’s archives and libraries to uncover a lost psychology: a world where confession was therapy, sin was diagnosis, and the Seven Deadly Sins served as a map of the human mind.
