DETAILS:
Positive self-esteem is rooted in a strong sense of self. Only you can define your identity and your path. Identity is not something you can borrow or take from your friends, parents, siblings, or influencers. How do you define your self-identity?
Throughout this fun and interactive 5-Saturday workshop, we will discuss philosophy to help you clarify:
- What makes you “you?”
- What is the “mind?”
- What is it to think and to feel?
- Why do you do what you do?
- What is meaningful to you?
- What makes you tick or happy?
The workshop will be led by philosophy students from Stanford University. Like you, these student facilitators once pondered their sense of self.
