Donald Robertson | How to Lead Like a Roman Emperor
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
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). I’ll put a link in the show notes to register for free, or you can visit platosacademy.org.
***If you’re interested in a free weekly meetup (every Friday @Noon EST), I’m calling Reading & the Good Life; you can register now. Reading & the Good Life is a space for connection, contemplation, and conversations on the art of living.
