Donald J. Robertson, a Scottish author and philosopher, combines ancient wisdom with modern psychology. He discusses how Socratic thought remains relevant today, especially amid technological advancements like AI. Robertson connects Stoicism to cognitive behavioral therapy, advocating for emotional resilience and the importance of questioning beliefs.

Highlighting the power of storytelling, they emphasize its role in shaping our understanding in an increasingly tech-driven world.
