"Ignorance is the root of all evil", 40 sayings from Plato to be happy
Plato

Born into a prominent and wealthy family in Athens, Plato dedicated his life to one goal: to help people achieve what he called Eudaimonia. This Greek word almost means 'happiness', but is really closer to 'fulfilment'.

Plato's ideas remain deeply provocative and engaging. What unites them is their ambition and idealism. He wanted philosophy to be a tool to help us change the world. An example that can continue to inspire.

What does Plato propose to make people more fulfilled?

Think more

Plato proposed that our lives often go wrong because we almost never give ourselves time to think carefully and reason enough about our plans. This is how we end up embracing the wrong values, the wrong career and the wrong relationships. Plato wanted to bring order and clarity to our minds.

Freud was fond of asserting that, in fact, it was Plato who invented therapy, insisting that we learn to subordinate all our thoughts and feelings to our reason. He has tried to write repeatedly, but the essence of philosophy is summed up in the command: "Know thyself."

Love more wisely

Plato is one of the great theorists of relationships. His book, Symposium, is an attempt to explain what love really is.

The importance of beauty

No one before Plato had asked the key question: Why do we like beautiful things? He found an interesting reason: we see in them a part of "goodness".
