You will master the famed “Socratic Method” for getting to the root of any problem; launch one of Socrates’ exhilarating “Dialogues” among your colleagues at work, as well as at home; and sharpen and enliven your thinking.

Introduction: Socrates’ Life and Times-and Ours
1. Know Thyself
The unexamined life is not worth living
2. Ask Great Questions
My way toward the truth is to ask the right questions.
3. Think for Yourself
Do not be convinced by me. Be convinced by the truth.
4. Challenge Conventions
We must escape from the Cave of illusions.
5. Grow with Friends
A flame of wisdom illuminated and warmed us, which none of us could have ignited alone.
6. Speak the Truth
It has been my fixed principle to speak the truth.
7. Strengthen Your Soul
Oh, my friend, why so little care for your soul?

To judge a person’s capability by gender is like judging a man’s intelligence by the amount of hair on his head.
