On 16th Jan 2021, New Acropolis India hosted a panel discussion titled “A philosophers guide to a new and improved 2021”. The speakers shared how with the advent of the new year, we tend to wait for our circumstances to change without focusing on the more sustainable inner change.  The panel suggested how one can develop a philosophical approach by taking charge of our lives. The discussion led to comfort and fear as factors that may stop us from driving the change we look forward to, and to learn from the past year towards a better 2021.
