What will this book offer you?

- Introduction to the Socratic way of thinking and living
- Practical examples on how to apply Socratic principles
- Analyses of contemporary concerns from a philosophical perspective
- Encouragements for personal reflection and questioning
The Experts' Opinion:
“The philosophy of Socrates is presented as what it always was: a living attitude towards life, not a theoretical construct.”
— The Guardian
“If Socrates were alive today, this book would be his podcast.”
— Philosophy Now
Why should you read it?
Because the wisdom of Socrates—to question, to ask, to constantly learn—is not outdated. It is more relevant than ever.
