Stoicism and Psychoanalysis with Donald ...

EVERGREEN PODCASTS
About this episode

Today I'm having a friendly discussion with Donald Robertson, author of the book "How to Think Like a Roman Emperor" and the new graphic novel "Verissimus" (illustrated by talented Portuguese artist Zé Nuno Fraga), about Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and all sorts of other things I didn't necessarily expect. Donald was traveling so the audio on his end is a bit poor, but the discussion, I hope, will more than make of up for it. Enjoy!

Can We Stoics Take A Day Off?
In this episode I tackle a question that every practicing Stoic has probably wrestled with: can we ever take a day off from Stoicism? If the pursuit of virtue is supposed to shape every moment of our lives, does that mean we must always be vigilant, never resting? I explore what ... Show More
