How to Think Like a Roman Emperor.

Donald Robertson is a Scottish-born cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist and author specialising in Stoicism and its clinical applications. He has written several books bridging ancient philosophy and modern psychology, including works on Marcus Aurelius and the origins of CBT. His 2019 book 'How to Think Like a Roman Emperor' distils Stoic mental practices—such as the view from above and negative visualisation—into actionable cognitive tools.
