Episode 3 - Instruction of Ptah-Hotep

Episode 3 - Instruction of Ptah-Hotep

The Instruction of Ptah-Hotep is said to be the oldest book. It is also the first self-help book! It is a letter from a father to his son. I was surprised at the wisdom this father decided to pass down to his son and potentially to all of Ancient Egypt. This book dates back to 4000 BC. Come check out what ancient wisdom lies within its few pages.
