Socrates' "Mirror For The Mind" Will Transform Your Thinking

from The Stoic Handbook with Jon Brooks · host Jon Brooks

Socrates had a strange idea: that another person can act as a mirror for your own mind, showing you the thoughts you cannot see on your own. In this conversation with philosopher Donald Robertson, we follow that thread through Socrates on wisdom, self-awareness, and the art of asking the right question.We get into how he used dialogue to surface what people did not know they believed, and what he meant by an eye that can somehow see itself. A short conversation that quietly changes how you listen to other people.Watch the video version: youtu.be/_vJtpOgMQLoFree 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
