#370 The Examined Life
Discuss this Big Idea in the Forums!
“It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka Areté) every day... for the unexamined life is not worth living."
~ Socrates, 5th century bce Greek philosopher from The Apology
Today’s recommended assignments:
1. Discuss virtue (aka Areté) with some friends. How about just a little less pop culture/sports/business/politics/whatever and a little more Areté?!
2. Spend some time "examining" your life. What/who do love the most? What things would you like to create? What would you do if you weren't afraid? ...?
Let’s live an examined life.
…
And don’t forget this wisdom from Dan Millman: “The unlived life is not worth examining.” :)

Testimonials
“I have been looking forward to getting onto my computer each day to see what you have in store for me that day. I read two things each day. A passage from the bible and now your newsletter. I use both of them to guide and inspire me throughout the following day. In my mind, you truly are a great philosopher! Keep up the great work. Thanks,”
~ Sylvia
