The Sage: The Difference Between Wisdom and Intelligence

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." — Aristotle

In this episode of Hold That Thought, hosts Becca and Taylor kick off their fourth mini-series ‘Archetypes of a Village’, where they will be exploring and celebrating the different character motifs that make up our proverbial village. The first episode focuses on the archetype of the Sage, exploring teachings, perspectives and philosophies on wisdom, how we acquire it, and the people who portray it best. They also discuss wise teachers they’ve experienced in their own lives and reflect on ways to bring knowledge of self, and by extension wisdom, into our village each day. 

Topics: Wisdom, sage, archetypes, philosophy, spirituality, motifs, characters, learning
