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.
