Seven essential lessons from The Odyssey; a timeless story of strength against adversity, resilience and never losing sight of your goals.


Who are you?
How can you be who you want to be?
How do you treat those around you?
What really matters?

The Odyssey Mindset translates the ancient wisdom of Homer’s classic epic into a reassuring and helpful toolkit for modern life. Each of the seven lessons are explained in parallel to our modern context, with practical takeaways and applications.

Dr Sam Akbar, an Oxford Classicist and Clinical Psychologist, guides you through Odysseus’s physical journey from Troy to Ithaca, but also the mental lessons of this ancient journey of self-knowledge.

Wherever you are on your journey, The Odyssey Mindset will help you navigate the obstacles that life presents.
