Donald Robertson on Socrates, Philosophy, and Modern Self-Help
Manage episode 451366615 series 3003351
In this episode, I sit down with Donald Robertson, renowned author, psychotherapist, and expert in ancient philosophy, to dive deep into the life, methods, and lessons of Socrates. Donald brings his unique perspective, blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Stoic philosophy, to explore why Socrates remains a pivotal figure in philosophy—and what we can learn from his methods today.
Donald’s new book, How to Think Like Socrates, is out now!
