The Last Days of Socrates: An Unexamined Life Worth Living
Socrates questioned everything in pursuit of growth and wisdom - but seeking truth in ancient Athens would lead to his untimely death. We explore the incredible life, lessons and the trial of the most impactful philosophers of all time.\nJoin Sam and Nico in this crossover episode as they mine timeless insights from the trial and final days of the great teacher. You'll reflect on conviction versus compromise, the roots of cognitive dissonance, and what it really means to live an examined life alongside one of history\u2019s greatest thinkers.\xa0\nWhether you want to argue better, stand firmer in your truths, or simply see how profound an impact one defiant man had on philosophy and religion itself - this episode delivers.\n- - -\nOn the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.
