Tired of living a superficial life? Find deeper meaning with this philosopher.
Do you always set ambitious goals and find yourself at a crossroads despite all the accomplishments under your belt?
We all face the weight of our professional responsibilities, the stress of which seeps into our personal lives more often than we’d like to admit.
Taking time out of busy schedules for quality leisure with family and friends is no easy task, leading to burnout at work (and vice versa).
In fact, according to the 2015 Deloitte Workplace Burnout Survey, 77% of professionals reported experiencing burnout at their jobs, with 51% saying they experienced it more than once.
83% of the surveyed professionals also reported that their work burnout negatively affected their personal relationships.
So how does one achieve their desired professional and personal goals with their plates already full—if not overflowing?

It offers clear accessible explanations of what Socrates believed and how he lived his life and each chapter outlines briefly, actions one can take to implement character and ways of living a good life through working on simple virtues. Socrates emphasized relationships with others as a way to achieve happiness and improve society.
This book will be well worth your time.
The author brings to life the teachings of Socrates in a way that is both profound and personally relevant. The chapter on Practical Knowledge particularly resonated with me. It discusses Socrates' belief in learning what is necessary for practical purposes, advocating for a balance between the pursuit of knowledge and the enjoyment of life. This aligns perfectly with my own philosophy – always in search of knowledge, yet mindful of the joy in life's simpler aspects.
A quote from Socrates himself encapsulates this sentiment: 'The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.' This book has been a reminder that the journey of learning is endless and that there is always more to discover and understand.
'The Socratic Wisdom' is more than a historical account; it's a guide to living a life of purpose, guided by virtue and a thirst for knowledge. It's a compelling read for anyone who, like me, seeks to navigate life with wisdom, integrity, and a balanced pursuit of knowledge.
