The Socratic Method: Questioning Your Way to Growth

What if the path to true growth begins with admitting how little you actually know? Dive into the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who used cunning questions to expose holes in conventional thinking - holes that still trip us up today around self-improvement. If you enjoy learning about psychology, self-development, and the inner workings behind success, you’ll discover proven wisdom from ancient Greece on getting out of your own way. 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. Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube (Growth Mindset) Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen Youtube - @Samjam - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: The Socratic Method: Questioning Your Way to Growth Chapters: 00:00 - The value of uncovering assumptions and misconceptions 01:55 - Who Socrates Was 04:57 - The importance of examining your beliefs and assumptions 07:14 - Actionable Socratic questioning strategies for growth 09:46 - Mistakes and failure as integral to the growth process 11:03 - Living honorably by being what you pretend to be 11:33 - Growth requires brutal honesty about yourself 13:27 - Why knowledge is the one good & ignorance is the one evil 14:54 - Wrong actions stem from intellectual errors, not malice 17:27 - Responding peacefully by giving your brain time and space 18:21 - Knowledge and awareness as the path to freedom 19:41 - Send Off Relevant keywords Growth mindset Socrates Socratic method Self-improvement Psychology Self-awareness Critical Thinking Learn more about your ad choices.
