Ep.98 - Inbetweener - How might one think like a Philosopher (at work) ?

How might one think like a Philosopher in the workplace?  In this short, sharp Inbetweener episode, diving into a book by a previous guest, Dr Julian Baggini’s “How to Think like a Philosopher” " the Occupational Philosophers discuss exactly that!  Julian Baggini has 12 key principles that the book is built around for a more humane, balanced, and rational approach to thinking.  These include:  Pay attention  Question everything (including your questions) Watch your steps Follow the facts  Watch your language  Be eclectic  Be a psychologist  Know what matters  Lose your ego  Think for yourself, not by yourself  Only connect  Don’t give up. Whilst they don’t want to big themselves up, The Occupational Philosophers think that diving into Julian’s Book helps them sound a little more intelligent than normal! Whilst you may not agree that they sound smarter, the book is excellent.  They hope you enjoy the show.  FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that - smaller episodes 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a fruity burst of energy to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process.   References: Selective Attention: Gorilla walking video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo  Julian Baggini “How to think like a Philosopher”  https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/62708028-how-to-think-like-a-philosopher    Say Hello www.occupationalphilosophers.com   Their day jobs JOHN: https://www.bowlandconsulting.com/ SIMON: www.simonbanks.com.au SIMON SHOWREEL: https://youtu.be/YZQdJI6qGvg
