Dr Luis de Miranda presents the book PHILOSOPHICAL HEALTH: THINKING AS A WAY OF HEALING (Bloomsbury, 2024: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/philoso...)

Philosophical Health for All is a relatively new field that explores the connections between philosophical inquiry and personal and societal well-being. It emphasizes reflective practices that can help individuals and groups make sense of their lives, navigate challenges, and cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning.

The core tenets of Philosophical Health for All include:

Self-knowledge: Cultivating a deep understanding of oneself, one's values, and one's place in the world.
Critical thinking: Examining assumptions, questioning beliefs, and developing sound reasoning skills.
Meaning-making: Finding purpose and significance in life, even in the face of adversity.
Resilience: Developing the ability to cope with challenges and setbacks.
Connection: Fostering healthy relationships with others and the world around us.
Proponents of Philosophical Health for All believe that these practices can contribute to a variety of positive outcomes, including:

Improved mental and emotional well-being
Enhanced resilience and coping skills
Greater clarity and purpose in life
Stronger relationships
More meaningful and fulfilling lives
While still in its early stages, Philosophical Health for All is gaining traction as a potential tool for promoting individual and societal well-being. A number of initiatives are underway to bring philosophical practices into schools, workplaces, and communities.

Here are some additional thoughts on Philosophical Health for All:

It is important to note that Philosophical Health for All is not a replacement for traditional mental health care. If you are struggling with your mental health, it is important to seek professional help.
Philosophical Health for All can be practiced by people of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs.
There is no one right way to do Philosophical Health for All. The most important thing is to find practices that work for you.
