Leaders are always looking for ways to gain a competitive edge over their competitors.
Some leaders choose to follow in the footsteps of the theoretical philosophies that successful leaders have put into motion. These theoretical philosophies, as many leaders have learned, can be hit-or-miss. Learn why following the practical philosophy of stoicism can help IT leaders frame their minds in a positive direction, thereby improving decision-making and reasoning skills quickly.
In this podcast, I’m joined by the expert on stoicism, Dr. Massimo Pigliucci, to learn how we can all build a practical roadmap to a happy life. Dr. Pigliucci is a Professor of Philosophy at City College of New York.
He holds a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Connecticut and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Tennessee. He is also the author and editor of 13 books, including his latest book, “A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living.”
I spoke with Dr. Pigliucci on my podcast several years ago about Ethics and AI, the types of Ethical Philosophies, the difficulty of programming ethics, and Stoicism. This time, I’m diving headfirst into discussing the practical philosophy of stoicism, a field where Dr. Pigliucci is an expert.
