The Importance of Living an Examined Life - Talking with Dr. Simon Longstaff on Values, Morals and Ethics

This episode I'm talking with Australia's leading authority on ethics, philosopher Dr. Simon Longstaff.

Simon is the executive director of The Ethics Centre which he helped establish thirty years ago.

His most recent book, 'Everyday Ethics', explains how ethics affects our daily lives in both simple and complex ways.

In our deeply insightful discussion, Simon outlines the differences between values, morals and ethics and the importance of examining one's life.

He talks about why Socrates is his favourite philosopher, the ethical dilemma his mother faced when he was a young boy of five, and the value of living an ethical life, in particular as a leader.

So sit back and enjoy listening to one of Australia's deepest thinkers, Dr. Simon Longstaff.
