Want to know more 
about me?

I am Jeff Rich, creator of the Burning Archive podcast and YouTube channel, author of three books on culture and history, writer of the weekly Substack, Fragments of the Burning Archive (jeffrich.substack.com).

In this online school I share my insights on world history, and how it can help you think independently about the world. If we see the world through other people's eyes, we see the world more clearly. If we see the changing world more clearly, we can live in tune with that changing world. That is the path of true wisdom and peace, as Thiruvalluvar, the ancient Tamil poet, wrote.

My 33 year career advising governments, the ups and downs of a normal life, and a lifetime spent studying history and other cultures gives me a unique perspective to help you see the world more clearly and compassionately.
