How might one think like a Philosopher in the workplace?
In this short, sharp Inbetweener episode, diving into a book by a previous guest, Dr Julian Baggini’s “How to Think like a Philosopher” ” the Occupational Philosophers discuss exactly that!
Julian Baggini has 12 key principles that the book is built around for a more humane, balanced, and rational approach to thinking.
These include:
- Pay attention
- Question everything (including your questions)
- Watch your steps
- Follow the facts
- Watch your language
- Be eclectic
- Be a psychologist
- Know what matters
- Lose your ego
- Think for yourself, not by yourself
- Only connect
- Don’t give up.
Whilst they don’t want to big themselves up, The Occupational Philosophers think that diving into Julian’s Book helps them sound a little more intelligent than normal! Whilst you may not agree that they sound smarter, the book is excellent.
They hope you enjoy the show.
FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that – smaller episodes ‘in between’ the longer format episodes designed to give a fruity burst of energy to enable you to be the most curious, creative and imaginative cat you can be – and have some fun in the process.
