Peter Jones Interview Episode 648

In this episode, I'm joined by medieval historian Peter Jones, author of Self-Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living. We explore how medieval thinkers used the idea of the Seven Deadly Sins not just as religious warnings, but as a surprisingly practical guide to understanding human habits, desires, and flaws. From pride and envy to greed and sloth, these ancient ideas reveal timeless truths about psychology, morality, and the challenge of living a balanced life.
