Awakening from the Meaning Crisis
A 50-lecture exploration of meaning, wisdom and the thinkers who shaped the search.
Critical Thinking
Understand how you are thinking—and why.
Listening, questioning and examining evidence are practices. This library brings together seven starting points from my original website.
An invitation
Please watch these videos.
I invite you to examine how you think, what you think and why you think it. That practice can reveal how patterns of thought affect outcomes and create a safer place for others to question, learn and contribute.
I conceived the Socratic Practice Network as a place to discuss, learn, experiment and evolve thinking skills without an alternative motive. What happens after that remains each participant’s decision.
