Work and Days: Daily wisdom from the Greeks and Romans to get you through your working day

by Andy Law

We may have advanced technologically and scientifically, but when it comes to raw intelligence we have progressed no further than the Greeks and the Romans. When it comes to business and strategy, Greece and Rome could well be called the “Mothers of Invention”. Ancient Greeks and Romans were as industrious in business as they were in warfare, construction, science, oratory, technology, philosophy, literature and art. They created sophisticated systems for law, trade, supplies and distribution. And during this period, we encounter the likes of Euclid, Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Herodotus, Euripides, Archimedes – world-famous thinkers that shaped society forever. Based on the teachings of world-class strategists, proven leaders, inspirational innovators and successful power-brokers as well as orators, poets, teachers and philosophers of the Ancient Greek and Roman times, the daily readings of this unique book provide amazing insights into self-development, leadership techniques, the best use of time and the importance of caring for both our physical and mental health – to help us overcome the challenges of today’s working life.
