The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed
Why you should think like a Roman Emperor
Why should you think like a Roman Emperor?
The emperor in question is Marcus Aurelias who was born in the second century.
He ruled for almost 20 years and was a leading Stoic.
Stoicism is a school of philosophy and it’s had a resurgence in popularity around the world. People are turning to it as a way to approach life and help navigate the various challenges they face. Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT which is one of the most widely accepted forms of psychotherapy has its roots in Stoicism.
We speak with author and former psychotherapist Donald Robertson, a founding member of the organization Modern Stoicism about how this ancient philosophy can guide us towards a calmer and more meaningful life.
