How To Think Like Socrates

Presented as a vivid biographical journey, the book weaves together the thinker’s life in Athens with clear, actionable ideas. It highlights the four cardinal virtues—wisdom, justice, courage, temperance—and shows how these ideals can shape choices at work, at home, and in community. As a practicing cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, the author also demonstrates how evidence-based concepts from modern psychology trace their roots to these ancient questions, making the connection between past and present tangible.

Readers move through a story-led exploration that feels like a guided conversation about thinking, feeling, and behaving. The writing is accessible and engaging, inviting reflection without jargon, so even newcomers to philosophy or psychology can grasp the relevant ideas and apply them with confidence.
