Donald Robertson | Stoic Wisdom for Modern Leaders (and Life)

In this episode, my guest is Donald Robertson, the author of the new graphic novel Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. Donald is a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist and the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre, a nonprofit in Athens, Greece (which you’ll hear more about in the episode). He is also the author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and many others.
In the conversation, Donald and I discuss,
Leadership lessons from Marcus Aurelius
Ancient Philosophy and Modern Leadership
The dichotomy of control (and Leadership)
Why managing anger leads to self-improvement and much more

As you’ll hear in the episode, Plato’s Academy Centre has an upcoming virtual event titled Ancient Philosophy for Modern Leadership on Saturday (3 Dec). Register for free at platosacademy.org.
