I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. I have waited for today's conversation since the minute today's guest agreed to come and be part of slowo-Mow. I have a keen interest in stoicism and today's

guest is one of the world's top most authorities on the topic. Donald Robertson is a writer, a

cognitive behavioral psychotherapist and a trainer. He is a specialist in

teaching evidence-based psychological skills,

and a known expert in the relationship between modern psychotherapy

and the classical Greek and Roman philosophy.

And you'll be amazed at how much modern psychotherapy can learn from those ancient philosophies.

His therapy practice has specialized for many years

and helped thousands of clients

that suffered from social anxiety and self-confidence issues.

He's also the author of six books and many articles on philosophy,

psychotherapy and psychological skills. and many articles on philosophy,

psychotherapy and psychological skill training.

I will focus today

mainly on his latest book,

how to think like a Roman Emperor,

the Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius,

which was a number one bestseller in philosophy.

While I wait for Donald to join me, let me tell you about something that I think you would enjoy doing tonight.
