Pre-order my new book, 'The Terrible Paradox of Self-Awareness,' now (out March, 2026): amazon.com/gp/product/B0FCDCCNJR?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=andrewsmcmeelpublishing-20
Other retailers: publishing.andrewsmcmeel.com/book/the-terrible-paradox-of-self-awareness
This book is the result of two years of work. It explores the pain, wonder, and meaning of being conscious—how awareness can be both a gift and a curse, and how we can live well within this paradox.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
In this video, we follow the lives and philosophies of two of individuals who are widely regarded as the first 'true' philosophers in western history, Socrates and Plato. As the two began to breakdown the consensus of knowledge through the first real practice of critical questioning, they would change the course of human thinking forever.
