Ep.98 - Inbetweener - How might one think like a Philosopher (at work) ?

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.
