What the Structure of Ancient Wisdom Teaches Us | Mary Page Wilson-Lyons

In this timely talk, Mary Page Wilson-Lyons asks what would happen if we let ancient wisdom teach us how to listen and talk to each other in radically different ways. She believes that too often nowadays, shiny sound bites distract us from deeper conversations that lead to real solutions, and offers a mindset shift for how to change that.
