The Socratic Method

When faced with challenging situations, ask yourself probing questions: What am I assuming here? What evidence supports or contradicts my view? How might others see this differently? This method of self-inquiry promotes deeper understanding and more balanced perspectives.

Do this today

Choose a belief or opinion you hold strongly and apply the Socratic method by asking yourself at least five probing questions.
