  • Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor with Donald Robertson

    Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor with Donald Robertson
    Apr 1 2024
    You're listening to the Stoic Solutions Podcast - practical wisdom for everyday life inspired by the ancient tradition of Stoic Philosophy from Greece and Rome. I'm your host, Justin Vacula. Visit my website at StoicSolutionsPodcast.com. For today’s episode, I recorded with author Donald Robertson about his new book ‘Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor.’ The book brings Marcus Aurelius to life for a new generation by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, the emperor Hadrian, and his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts. Donald Robertson is a writer, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, and trainer. He is one of the founding members of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit and the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre nonprofit in Athens, Greece. Robertson is an expert on the relationship between modern evidence-based psychotherapy and classical Greek and Roman philosophy. He specializes in teaching evidence-based psychological skills. His work is highly interdisciplinary, combining philosophy, history, and psychology. Support my work through Patreon.
