Question everything... that's a key insight from the great Greek
philosopher Socrates. We may think we know ourselves and what
makes us happy... but that's not always true.

Yale professor Tamar Gendler says that by harnessing our "inner
Socrates" we can ask ourselves why we think or feel certain
things. We might then find that deeply-held convictions that
money or status or accolades are a reliable route to happiness
aren't correct, and can then start to pursue the things that
might really make us happier.
