Self-Help From the Middle Ages

Jones, Peter J. ,,

£20.00

When Dante called despair 'the sin that freezes the heart,' was he describing the first burnout? What can a painting by Giotto reveal about our hunger to see others fail? Can desire ever lift us closer to wisdom, not drag us from it? What can a twelfth-century monk teach us about burnout, envy, or despair? Far more than we might imagine. In 'Self-Help from the Middle Ages', 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.
