MINDFULNESS & THE PHILOSOPHICAL PATH

MARCH 24th AT 8 AM PST

For this introduction to the weekly series on mindfulness practice, David will talk about why mindfulness is an essential skill for all philosophical journeys. Whether it was Socrates, Epictetus, The Buddha, Arthur Schopenhauer, or Viktor Frankl, being able to notice the world around you and think about your thoughts is the essential first step to studying philosophy and gaining deeper wisdom.
