For today’s episode, I recorded with author Donald Robertson about his new book ‘Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor.’

The book brings Marcus Aurelius to life for a new generation by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, the emperor Hadrian, and his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.

Donald Robertson is a writer, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, and trainer. He is one of the founding members of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit and the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre nonprofit in Athens, Greece. Robertson is an expert on the relationship between modern evidence-based psychotherapy and classical Greek and Roman philosophy. He specializes in teaching evidence-based psychological skills. His work is highly interdisciplinary, combining philosophy, history, and psychology.

For today’s episode, I recorded with Lauren Ell. We talk about finding meaning in life, morality, and her take on political and social issues from the perspective of, among other things, a mom and an atheist who identifies as a Republican. Together, we find parallels between Stoic Philosophy and her views.

Lauren Ell founded several atheist organizations, most notably Republican Atheists, Atheist Moms, and Atheists We Are. She has lived most of her life in Southern California but moved abroad to Sweden for love in 2016. While abroad, she has launched American-Swedish organizations, Americans Sweden and Nordic Republicans. She has been featured in media outlets such as NPR, PJ Media and national Swedish live news and print.
