When Socrates was asked to define our highest purpose as humans, he said, To know ourselves. This advice holds true. Without self-knowledge, all other efforts are in vain.
The second title in the '40 Images' series, Self-Knowledge in 40 Images takes us on a tour of certain key ideas that we need to befriend our deeper selves, accompanied by the work of photographers and artists such as David Hockney, Cy Twombly, Edgar Degas, Isabella La Rocca González and Elise Corten. Featuring culturally and historically diverse artwork alongside a series of elegant essays inviting contemplation, this book helps us to understand how our childhoods have shaped us, what difficulties we characteristically experience in relationships and what our purpose should be.
Modern society gives us no shortage of ambitions. We will have landed on the one that can finally brings us peace and freedom when we are ready - with the help of this book - to begin the inward journey: self knowledge.
Pair with the Know Yourself Prompt Cards, designed to help lead you through the important task of knowing yourself a little better in life.
