I dedicated this book to everyone who wants to know the various perspective in understanding the self.

Socrates

An unexamined life is not worth living.

He believed that every man is dualistic. It is composed of body and soul. The body is imperfect and impermanent, while the soul is perfect and permanent.

Soul being the perfect one, strives for wisdom and perfection. 

Socrates said a person could achieve a meaningful and happy life if he becomes virtuous. He knows the value of himself. He knows himself and can only be achieved through soul searching.

   In the philosophical perspective of Socrates, self-awareness in life is one of the crucial things that humans must know. It simply refers to a thorough grasp of one's personality. It covers positive and bad characteristics, as well as thoughts and views, feelings, and inspiration. We can attain this by soul-searching, where our experiences assist us in gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves as we become older. As a result, a person seeking self-transparency must collect life experiences. 

    Making friends and trying new things is an excellent choice in doing this and one of the most effective ways to improve self-awareness. Also, life experience provides a sense of personality. Experiences, whether via friends, failures, or attempting new things, are crucial to understanding oneself. These kinds of encounters offer the most profound and fundamental awareness of one's self.

Plato

The Soul is Immortal

Plato is a student of Socrates.

Plato believed in the existence of the mind and soul.

According to Plato, the soul has three parts: the reason, spiritual, and appetite. 

Genuine happiness, according to Plato, can only be attained by persons who continually ensure that their reason has authority over their appetite and spirit.
