In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Julian Baggini, author of the new book How to Think Like a Philosopher. Julian is a philosopher, journalist, and author of more than 20 books. He is a return guest to the show; our previous conversation focused on his book The Great Guide: What David Hume Can Teach Us About Being Human and Living Well.

In the conversation, Julian and I discuss:

  • Why thinking is about attitudes as well as techniques.
  • The challenges of thinking like a philosopher.
  • The role attention plays in thinking clearly.
  • Why self-reflection is critical to reasoning.
  • Wisdom in daily life and much more.
