The Medieval Art of Living Well

What can the Middle Ages teach us about living well today? Historians Peter Jones and Katherine Harvey join Amy Jeffs for a fascinating exploration of the unexpected wisdom of the medieval world.

From the moral lessons of the seven deadly sins to holistic approaches to diet, exercise and emotional balance, medieval thinkers grappled with many of the same questions that preoccupy us today: how to cultivate good habits, navigate temptation and lead a flourishing life.

Challenging our assumptions about the so-called 'Dark Ages', they reveal a culture that understood wellbeing as a lifelong practice - and whose ideas continue to resonate in our search for healthier, more grounded lives.

There will be a book signing after this event.
