Episode notes

Ancient Greece was not a nation, as we think of it today or elsewhere. It's kind of this coastal, there's lots of coastlines and these little islands surrounded by sea. And the coastline is all kind of rocky mountains descending to sea. In order to get along and get ahead in ancient Greece, you had to be a bit of a hustler.

Will Storr, an award-winning journalist and novelist, joins us for this episode of The Unmistakable Creative. Will takes us on a journey through the history of 'self'. He explains how early human societies are responsible for much of how we live in the modern-day world. Why have we become so self-obsessed and what is it doing to us? The irony is that we’d love to know and Will has an answer at will blow your mind.
