How does one know when it’s better to talk to a philosopher than a psychologist?

Most of your daily issues and concerns are essentially philosophical problems. When you want to talk about them, you are much better off talking to a philosopher. A philosopher spends years studying issues such as the meaning of life, questions of right and wrong, logic, and hundreds of other such topics. For that reason alone you are better off with a philosopher when the issue at hand is of a philosophical nature. These days people are quick to run to their “shrink” for every little question. When you talk to a philosopher the solutions to your problems come from your gaining a better understanding of your own mind. You will experience increased self awareness and well being. You will become clear on your true values and goals.

The key is to be bold enough to try something new. If you have been ‘seeing a shrink’ for problems that are not psychological in nature or if your sessions have gone on with no concrete results, it is time to try a philosopher.
