[Description Body] In 399 BC, a 70-year-old man stood before a jury of 500 Athenians. He was accused of corrupting the youth and disrespecting the gods. His life was on the line. But instead of begging for mercy, he gave a masterclass on how to live. In this video, we decode Plato's Apology, the account of the trial of Socrates. We explore why he refused to apologize, what it really means to be "wise," and why he famously declared that "the unexamined life is not worth living." If you have ever felt pressured to conform, or if you are searching for the courage to stand by your values, this ancient defense is the ultimate playbook for your soul.
