_____________________
‘Know Thyself’ was an inscription on the frieze of the temple of Apollo at Delphi in ancient Greece. Self-knowledge is an honest and significant understanding of oneself and of what is perhaps the most profound question of all: ‘who am I?’ Knowledge of self helps us to embrace ourselves as we are, with all our flaws, and to see the world as it exists, in all its tainted splendor. ‘The man who is aware of himself’, wrote Virginia Woolf, ‘is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.’
Adequate self-knowledge is key to a fulfilling professional life and to the flourishing of our social and intimate relationships. In this workshop we’ll reflect on the many personal and social ingredients of self-knowledge and identify ways in which we can each augment it for ourselves. Through short videos, readings, and classroom discussion, we’ll also explore various styles of thinking, learning, and being—including our own—and how we can harness them to further our self-awareness and to find greater purpose and meaning in our professional, social, and personal lives.
