Six Life Lessons from Leo Tolstoy
Leo Tolstoy, the author of literary epics such as 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', is most often thought of as one of the 19th century's greatest novelists. However, "few are aware that he was also one of its most radical social and political thinkers. During a long life from 1828 to 1910, Tolstoy gradually rejected the received beliefs of his aristocratic background and embraced a startlingly unconventional worldview that shocked his peers. Tracing his personal transformation offers some wise -- and surprising -- lessons for how we should approach the art of living today."
BE THE CHANGE
Take a lesson from Tolstoy to transform yourself, whether it's pausing from your work or daily routine to help somebody, or listening to someone whose views differ from your own.
