Review "Robertson distills the emperors philosophy into useful mental habits...[he] displays a sound knowledge of Marcus life and thought...[his] accessible prose style contributes to its appeal...[the] book succeeds on its own terms, presenting a convincing case for the continuing relevance of an archetypal philosopher-king." --The Wall Street Journal "This is a terrific book on Marcus Aurelius and flourishing in the Stoic mode." --Derren Brown "Highly recommended." --The Stoic "A fascinating history of Aurelius and his beliefs, and an insightful consideration of how they inform the practice of modern mindfulness." --Publishers Weekly "Donald Robertson is one of the leading lights behind the modern Stoicism movement. Hes also a cognitive behavioral therapist with a strong background in ancient philosophy. This book is an unusual combination of biography and self-help.
