The Wisdom School: What it Means to be Human

Welcome to the Lyceum. What does it mean to be human? What is the nature of life? How does the universe work?

People, like diamonds, are many-faceted. One of Thom Hartmann’s facets is reflected in his newsletter, The Wisdom School, where he takes readers on an exploration of the human experience. A world citizen and insatiable seeker of knowledge, both secular and spiritual, Thom’s lessons on living rich, fulfilling lives transcends anything I was ever taught in school.
