#30 | Critical Thinking, Martial Arts & Philosophy: Timeless Lenses to See Oneself | Brian Barnes
My guest today is Dr. Brian Barnes, a creative and disciplined thinking professional with broad & deep experience in higher education, project management & sustainability-oriented leadership. Just to name a few of his many credentials & involvements: Scholar at the #FoundationforCriticalThinking, conducting professional workshops in critical thinking methods; philosophy professor at the University of Louisville and lecturer at several other institutions. Dr. Barnes is also head instructor in Hontai Yoshin Ryu jujutsu & co-owner of Louisville Compost, where he provides sustainability services.
This episode is really about 'how to live one’s best life' & see oneself through timeless lenses such as #martialarts, #philosophy & #criticalthinking! Especially 'Critical thinking' is essential if we are to get to the root of our problems and develop reasonable solutions. As the quality of everything we do is determined by the quality of our thinking!
