TALK OF THE WEEK

Dr. Gad Saad is one of our favourite thinkers. He’s also got a great sense of humour.

We highly recommend his books, particularly The Consuming Instinct, which explains why your ancient DNA is the real puppet master behind why you crave greasy burgers, splurge on new cars to impress your neighbours, and get mysteriously drawn to terrible reality TV.

Good news. You can save yourself some time and money by watching his Google talk below instead, which gives you the key takeaways from the book.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.”

- Jean-Jaques Rousseau, philosopher
