Welcome to The Philosopher’s Compass podcast!I’m your host, Meredith Alexander Kunz. I’m the creator of The Stoic Mom Substack, helping parents and kids benefit from Stoic philosophy, and the co-author of the books Beyond Stoicism, and Live Like a Philosopher. I launched this podcast to focus on how people are using practical philosophy, especially Stoicism, in their everyday lives, and how they turn to philosophical thinking to find purpose and meaning.In this episode my guest is Donald J. Robertson. Donald is a psychotherapist and author, and one of the founders of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit. He’s also the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre in Athens. He is the Author of Stoicism and the Art of Happiness, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, and How to Think Like Socrates. In addition, Donald is the creator of numerous courses,. He was the first person I interviewed for The Stoic Mom blog, back in 2017! And I learned so much from him about anger, resilience, and perfectionism and Stoicism, and more. Every time I speak with him or listen to his interviews, I learn so much - and I think you will too!
