Part 4/10:
Sarah Bakewell’s How to Live: A Life of Montaigne serves as a timely reminder of the importance of self-awareness amidst chaos. Montaigne, a philosopher who navigated turbulent societal changes, turned inwards to find meaning through self-reflection and a quest for personal truth. This inward journey is crucial in a world rife with turmoil. Understanding ourselves allows us to better engage with the world, nurturing empathy and curiosity to enable healthier dialogues and relationships.
