Shift Perspective, Heal the World

Most of us think of philosophy as something reserved for daydreamers and academics, something abstract and theoretical with no practical role in our everyday lives. This is an ironic misconception of a word that literally means love (philo) of wisdom (sophia) and has touched virtually every aspect of human life.

The practice of philosophy is, most fundamentally, one of thinking about our world more deeply. It is a way of developing self-knowledge, a path toward unbiased experience, a method for creating your most fulfilling life. To paraphrase Epicurus, philosophy is the medicine of the mind, a remedy for the suffering soul.
