About the book
A work of popular psychology that examines ten great ideas from ancient wisdom traditions through the lens of modern psychological research. The author uses the metaphor of a rider and an elephant to explain the divided human mind, exploring how concepts like virtue, reciprocity, and adversity contribute to a fulfilling life.
