What can the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius teach us about coping with adversity, managing difficult emotions, and living with greater purpose?
In this talk, I’ll explore some of the central ideas in How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and explain how ancient Stoic philosophy anticipated several techniques used in modern cognitive-behavioural therapy. We’ll look at practical ways to apply these ideas in everyday life, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
The event is suitable both for readers who are new to Stoicism and for those already familiar with the philosophy. Reserve your place through TicketScene.
