Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

Massimo Pigliucci, the renowned philosopher, Stoic and rationalist, opens his upcoming book, The Quest for Character, with an excellent question:

Can we make ourselves better human beings?

With this one simple inquiry he initiates a beautiful journey of philosophical, moral, ethic and personal investigation.

From there he discusses what is Virtue, the Gadfly of Athens, Alcibiades...and so much more.

And it is for this reason we are extremely fortunate that Massimo has agreed to be one of our Keynote speakers for THIS SATURDAY’S thought-provoking event: How to Think Like Socrates.

But before I tell you how you can get your tickets and partake in this fantastic event, I have some more great news.

Those who register can also have an opportunity to win a hardback edition of Massimo’s book, The Quest for Character: What the Story of Socrates and Alcibiades Teaches Us about Our Search for Good Leaders, coming out next month. In fact, there will be six copies* given out!

Simply register for Saturday’s event, starting at NOON EDT to enter to win.

Let other’s know about this exciting opportunity and event. This post is public so please feel free to share it.

This special program of world-class thinkers and renowned authors will offer captivating insights into the Socratic Method, including effective and practical advice and strategies to think critically, reason more clearly, and protect yourself against misleading information and sophistry.

Please note: Tickets are by donation and all proceeds go to the restoration of Plato’s Academy in Athens. This is a project that Classical Wisdom is intimately involved in… but more than that, it’s a wonderful cause and an exciting opportunity to be part of history!

As always, you can reply to this email or write to me directly at Anya@classicalwisdom.com. I hope you can join me as I host this Saturday’s event for a fantastic afternoon of truly thought-provoking, perspective changing discussion.

All the best,
Anya Leonard
