Donald Robertson on What Ancient Philosophy Teaches Us About Facing Uncertainty

Sobre este episódio

<p>Stoicism is no different than working out or journaling—it is a daily practice that we lean on to overcome the obstacles we face every day. As a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist and trainer, Donald Robertson has given readers a unique perspective on the benefits of applying ancient philosophy&nbsp; to our everyday lives in his work, including his recent book<em> </em><a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=donald+robertson*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>How To Think Like Socrates</em></a>. Today, Donald and Ryan continue their conversation about cognitive flexibility, what Socrates and the Stoics teach us about handling uncertainty, and how Stoicism is making waves in modern day psychotherapy practices. &nbsp;</p><br><p>Donald is a writer, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist and trainer. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH). Donald specializes in teaching evidence-based psychological skills, and is known as an expert on the relationship between modern psychotherapy (CBT) and classical Greek and Roman philosophy.</p><br><p><br></p><p>📚 Donald’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Like-Socrates-Philosophy/dp/1250280508" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>How to Think Like Socrates: Ancient Philosophy as a Way of Life in the Modern World</em></a><em>, </em>is out now!&nbsp;Pick up a signed copy at <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=donald+robertson*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Painted Porch</a>.</p><br><p>Get a signed copy of <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=donald+robertson*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor</em></a><em> </em>and <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=donald+robertson*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>How To Think Like A Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius</em> </a>from <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=donald+robertson*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Painted Porch</a>.&nbsp;</p><br><p>🎙️Listen to Part 1 on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily-stoic/id1430315931" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7fY99FB3bNyn7nEdXCoBeB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></p><br><p>🎥 Watch Donald Robertson’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTUXex1F-Jc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first interview</a> with Ryan on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTUXex1F-Jc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><br><p><a href="https://donaldrobertson.substack.com/?sort=new" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a></p><p>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/DonJRobertson" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@donjrobertson</a></p><p>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/donaldjrobertson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@donaldjrobertson</a></p><br><p>✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
