Overview
How many times have you been told to “act your age?” According to renowned Socratic scholar Christopher Phillips, there is a deeper, often misunderstood meaning behind that phrase that advocates for embracing a more childlike sense of wonder and curiosity. As he explains in his book “A Child at Heart: Unlocking Creativity at Any Age,” in order to feel fulfilled at every age we need to keep inquisitive, wondrous “child-like” people in our orbit, stay curious and never stop asking “Why?” During this interview, you’ll learn why Phillips argues against the conventional, rigid definitions of maturity. Instead, his philosophy advocates for lifelong learning and open-mindedness, which he believes will create more empathetic human connections.
