Everyday Philosophy: Practical Critical Thinking for Your Day-to-Day Life

Written by James Sirois

Narrated by Ray Jericho

Philosophy is a strange beast. To many, it can seem difficult to wrap your head around, and to others, it can seem like a pointless discipline. But at a time when critical thinking and reading between the lines are growing more important than ever, ancient ideas like Stoicism are becoming increasingly popular, and self-education and lifelong learning are turning into a new norm, maybe you’re starting to wonder what it’s all about — and if it actually can improve your everyday life.

Philosophy tutor and writer James Sirois certainly thinks it can. In Everyday Philosophy: Practical Critical Thinking for Your Day-to-Day Life, an audio course from Scribd Coach, he aims to demonstrate the practical power of philosophical thinking in your own life and help readers unlock the potential of critical thinking. In this course designed for fans of personal growth and general nonfiction, Sirois offers a broad overview of the history of philosophy, shares philosophical techniques that everyone can benefit from (not just the professors), discusses how the different branches of philosophy impact our lives, and explores how you can grow your skills as a critical thinker. He also provides exercises for listeners along the way so they can begin applying what they’ve learned right away.

If you’re looking to spark your curiosity, develop a better understanding of the problems of our times, or just get better at thinking, you’re in the right place. Let’s get philosophical.

Reviews for Everyday Philosophy

[Anthony Yap · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I find it difficult to appreciate the contents of this book /audiobook, perhaps that is due to the fact that I am not a student of philosophy. But I think this fits for all those interested in creating their own philosophies.
