Description
How to Apply the Advice of History's Greatest Philosopher in Modern Life?
Socrates is perhaps the most famous philosopher in our history. Almost everyone has heard his name at some point, and perhaps even the famous quote: "I know that I know nothing." He spent his life teaching philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, is the founder of the Western philosophical tradition, and yet today, few people are familiar with the wisdom he can offer us.
Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist Donald J. Robertson engagingly narrates the life of the philosopher who shunned material pleasures and stood by his beliefs even in the face of controversy with admirable resilience. His life story is skillfully interwoven with his thoughts and offers practical advice on how to apply them in everyday modern life.
With his help, for example, you will discover:
how to lead a life guided by your own reason rather than the advice of others,
how to achieve freedom and true fulfillment,
what the Socratic dialogue is and how to benefit from it today,
how to apply Socratic methods to problem-solving,
why Socrates is the great-grandfather of psychotherapy and personal development,
what true wisdom consists of and how to utilize it for your life.
