Donald spent two and a half years writing his latest book for Rissimus. The story of Marcus Aurelius' life it's based on the surviving historical evidence that we have. I wanted it to be a way of people learning also about stoic philosophy so we enter a lot of stoic philosophy into the book. It was enamis in editor's pick for best history book which is pretty cool.
This is the audio of an interview I gave recently for Book Club with Kaiden Kelly, talking about How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, Verissimus, and Stoicism, self-help and modern psychology.
