A Guide to Happiness
Part One
Socrates on Self-Confidence
This six part
series on philosophy is presented by popular British philosopher Alain
de Botton, featuring six thinkers who have influenced history, and
their ideas about the pursuit of the happy life.
Episode 1: Socrates on Self-Confidence - Why do so many people go along
with the crowd and fail to stand up for what they truly believe? Partly
because they are too easily swayed by other people's opinions and
partly because they don't know when to have confidence in their own.
