Andrew J Taggart is a practical philosopher who works with executives and entrepreneurs. He challenges them to look at life with a "first principles" approach.
In this podcast, we discuss the benefits of meditation in leading a "more examined life", and not merely to increase work productivity. We also talk about how philosophy can be the scaffolding to ask "questions that matter". Andrew gives listeners 3 practical quick meditations to get started on to
- Be a better leader
- Be more empathetic
- Reclaim a sense of control
Andrew's superpower is the "art of the question" and engaging in dialogic conversation to figure out how to dislodge the "pebble in the shoe".
