I'm with you pal. As a humanities guy I feel like 80-90% of what you need to know to live as an effective modern human being you can learn from Socrates, Aristotle, and Thucydides.

Socrates for being a good man himself being a secular Nazarene. Aristotle for coming to terms with society's quirks and Thucydides for understanding international politics and war.
