Day 67: "Know Thyself" with Donald Robertson
📮 Want tools for the art of living? Sign up here: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribeWelcome back to Dying Every Day (Stoicism in a Year). This is Day 67, and I’m excited to share segment three of my conversation with Donald Robertson (author of the new book How to Think Like Socrates). If you enjoy audiobooks, Donald does a phenomenal job narrating this new book. I highly recommend it! He’s also the author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and a recent biography titled Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor. This segment focuses on becoming wiser and the Delphic maxim Know Thyself.Check out Donald's Substack: https://donaldrobertson.substack.com/--- 🖇️ Stay Connected: Newsletter: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/perennialmeditations/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerennialPods--- 🦉 Additional Resources: Explore the Perennial Meditations archive: https://perennial.substack.com/archiveListen to more podcasts: https://www.perennialleader.com/podcasts
