Introduction is way too long, blab, blab, and more blab.
The title of the video is “Philosophy – A Guide to Happiness: Socrates on
Self-Confidence”. So what is expected, instead we get a tour of a part of
Greece,
a shop.

Great video

Thinking Logically

Humans tend to accept that people in authority must be right. It is this
assumption that Socrates wanted us to challenge by urging us to think
logically. A short film for your week-end viewing.

Timeless

Eric Piteau says:

We must stand up for our beliefs, and not by default conform or appease to
the popular. In lieu, watch this excellent half hour documentary,
describing Socrates’ basic philosophy of happiness.

Rangarajan Rao says:

Great series. Everyone young and old should spend 3 hours and view these
videos and turn around and listen and watch a second time. You will be
better by doing so.

How to stop being a sheep

Jefferson Airplane says:

Alain De Boton is a great philosopher in our times and his books are all
great works. True love for the brain, nothing complicated! Philosophy as
the ancient greeks taught, simple and helpful for your life.

Caroline McAndrews says:

The first time I fell in love was when I read about whom Socrates was…I
love philosophy

Socrates, history’s first hippie! I can see him roaming barefoot through a
Grateful Dead parking lot.

All ENTPs Are challenging an SJ-dominated society :D

We all need more happiness in our lives.

Socrates on self-confidence, part of Alain de Botton’s documentary A Guide
to Happiness, based on his book The Consolations of Philosophy. His latest
thought piece, Religion for Atheists, explores what secular movements like
education and the arts can learn from religious concepts and delivery
formats.
