"This is a wonderful and important book that anyone interested in Stoicism or in being a better leader should read." —Ryan Holiday
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius stands as the last renowned Stoic philosopher of the ancient world. His work, The Meditations, a personal journal, continues to be cherished as one of the most influential self-help and spiritual classics ever. In How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, cognitive psychotherapist Donald Robertson masterfully intertwines the life and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius to offer a modern guide to the Stoic wisdom that has inspired countless individuals seeking greater fulfillment and emotional resilience throughout history.
This book invites readers on a transformative journey with Marcus, tracing his development from a young noble at Hadrian's court—mentored by some of the greatest philosophers of his time—to his reign as emperor at the height of Rome’s power. Robertson illustrates how Marcus employed philosophical teachings and therapeutic techniques to cultivate emotional strength and navigate immense challenges, while also guiding readers in applying these principles to their own lives.
By blending remarkable anecdotes from Marcus's life with insights from contemporary psychology and the timeless wisdom of his philosophy, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor humanizes Stoicism and provides an essential guide to confronting the ethical and psychological dilemmas we face today.
