In today's world where so many want to re-write history, tear down statues of historical figures, and fill our media with so much attention on all of the worst and crudest aspects of humanity, it's time bring forth those things from ages past that are noble and good--tried and true wisdom of the ages that has stood the test of time. This podcast is dedicated to just that. Two men from Chicago, Illinois, compiled a book full of wisdom for life over 130 years ago--wisdom and advice collected from notable men and women across the centuries; much of which, you'll find, still rings true today. The title of the book? "The Royal Path of Life; Or Aims and Aids to Success and Happiness" Believe it or not, people from centuries ago struggled with many of the very same problems that you and I do, and their wisdom and experiences are shared here. Insight on subjects such as Personal Habits, Greed, Integrity, Anger, Marriage, Hypocrisy, Slander, Friendship, Youth, Old Age, Sickness, and even Life and Death. Part audio book and part commentary, in each episode I'll read passages from this wonderful and venerable tome, sprinkled with a bit of commentary and occasionally fascinating and inspiring personal stories from listeners--like you--sharing their own bits of wisdom and experiences along the way. But I must warn you; the language is old and represents the time that the book was written. Some of the advice and the wisdom it shares is considered controversial in today's society. Nevertheless it is a fascinating look at the insight of people throughout history and the keys that they discovered to unlocking success and happiness in their lives. So if you find yourself often reminiscing about the "good old days," consider yourself a bit "old fashioned," or perhaps confused, frustrated, and living a life that you'd rather not be living, then this podcast is for you. Who am I? I'm just a man with a microphone, inviting you to join me as we take the Royal Path of Life.
