Hear unique Socratic tactics for questioning assumptions, overcoming knowledge bias, and admitting what you don’t know. If you enjoy learning about Stoicism, critical thinking, and the inner workings of progress, discover how this Greek master teacher's paradigm-shifting methods from antiquity can reveal blindspots of conventional thinking - even today. Become inspired to live more thoughtfully. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
