Three thousand years before clinical therapy ever existed, people turned to philosophy. (Socrates said the fundamental philosophical problem was not "How does the world work?" but "How should we live our lives?") In this fun, discussion-based class, we'll look briefly at what a few famous philosophical advice-givers have said—including Socrates, Seneca, and Nietzsche—but our main focus will be taking on the philosopher’s role ourselves. For example, we'll explore how mapping the relationship between our knowledge and our emotions can help us better handle difficulties in our own lives. Bring your brain and a pen!
