How Socrates would have read The Agilist’s Guidebook?


Socrates would read one chapter, but then he will take a moment and challenge himself how this applies to his life, and what he can do to think better.

Socrates had a method to his genius, and that process was straightforward: Ask questions.

Socrates was a scholar, and he instructed his students to ask questions.

He told his student to Take the time to think about their problems and any other thing in their life. He explains not just blindly accept what they hear or read, think about it.


Draw his/her own resolutions and understand where they can continue from there.

When his student read The Agilist’s Guidebook, they will think through and analyze everything. Most of their problem can minimize through this approach.

According to Socrates while reading a book, give it a pause every now and then. Analyze how this concept can solve some of your own problems? what action you can take about what the author has shared.

Sit down and Read, and figure out below questions while reading the book,

  • Whatever I am reading is it significant to my work?
  • Why I am reading these chapters?
  • How much you acknowledge with these concepts?
  • What action I can take if it is applying to my life?
  • Am I able to understand all the facts what the author is trying to communicate through this book?
  • If the concepts are not applicable, in future these approaches will useful for me?
  • Can I practice and demonstrate this to someone else?
  • Have you already thought through and implemented about these concepts earlier? How did it function?
  • Are you agreeing with the author? if not, do you think if you have a stronger means to deal with the situation?
  • What do you think about the author’s story or journey look like?
  • In what way you can compose better about these chapters?
  • Do you think is there any other better way this chapter/concepts could have committed? with better examples?
