"This book is a wonderful introduction to one of history's greatest
figures: Marcus Aurelius. His life and this book are a clear guide
for those facing adversity, seeking tranquility and pursuing
excellence." --Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is
the Way and The Daily Stoic The life-changing principles of
Stoicism taught through the story of its most famous proponent.
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the final famous Stoic
philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal
journal, survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help
and spiritual classics of all time. In How to Think Like a Roman
Emperor, cognitive psychotherapist Donald Robertson weaves the life
and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius together seamlessly to provide a
compelling modern-day guide to the Stoic wisdom followed by
countless individuals throughout the centuries as a path to
achieving greater fulfillment and emotional resilience. How to
Think Like a Roman Emperor takes readers on a transformative
journey along with Marcus, following his progress from a young
noble at the court of Hadrian--taken under the wing of some of the
finest philosophers of his day--through to his reign as emperor of
Rome at the height of its power. Robertson shows how Marcus used
philosophical doctrines and therapeutic practices to build
emotional resilience and endure tremendous adversity, and guides
readers through applying the same methods to their own lives.
Combining remarkable stories from Marcus's life with insights from
modern psychology and the enduring wisdom of his philosophy, How to
Think Like a Roman Emperor puts a human face on Stoicism and offers
a timeless and essential guide to handling the ethical and
psychological challenges we face today.
