Imagine sitting in a room with some of the greatest thinkers in history and listening to what they have to say about life and how to make it better.

What we do in life depends, to a large extent, on the quality of ideas and wisdom we gather from people who have lived before us.

Here are four life-changing lessons from some of history’s greatest thinkers—lessons that impacted my life and have the potential to do the same for you.
