Principle of Charity

Spotlight with Jonah Primo: Does Self Reflection Make Us More Miserable?


Listen Later

In this episode we’re keeping it in the family, as we’re joined by our very own, very talented producer, Jonah Primo. Jonah has spent many years studying mindfulness, meditation and philosophy which he channels into his own podcast, The Overexamined Life - so who better to help us reflect on self-reflection.

We all know Socrates’ famous saying – the unexamined life is not worth living. But is it actually true? Does self-examination actually help us? And if so, in what way does it help? Do we end up happier, or just more aware of our limitations? And is there a point where it can do more harm than good? Maybe there’s value in a richer, more self-aware life, even if we’re not necessarily happier?
