Leigh MartinuzziEpisode 1154: Donald Robertson -How to Think Like Socrates: Stoicism, Happiness, and AngerIn this episode, I sit down with Donald Robertson, cognitive-behavioural therapist, Stoic expert, and author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and How to Think Like Socrates.

The Courageous LifeOn Stoic Philosophy, Wisdom, and Love | Donald RobertsonIn his book Stoicism and the Art of Happiness, author, therapist, and stoic philosopher, Donald Robertson, writes:"The Sage conquers his passions by becoming stronger than them not by eliminating all traces of emotions from his life. The Stoic ideal is therefore not to be ‘passionless’ in the sense of being ‘apathetic’, ‘hard-hearted’, ‘insensitive’ or ‘like a statue’ of stone or iron. Rather, it is to experience natural affection for ourselves, our loved ones, and other human beings. And to value our lives in accord with nature."
