principales reflexiones de la obra del emperador romano y las entreteje
con las técnicas psicológicas más actuales para ofrecer una guía que te
permitirá fortalecer el carácter, ser resiliente, encontrar la paz
mental y desarrollar las virtudes que hicieron de Marco Aurelio uno de
los gobernantes más amados y respetados. Conquista la ansiedad, el
dolor, la ira, la pérdida y la tristeza: descubre la filosofía estoica,
la herramienta más poderosa para enfrentar la adversidad. Gobierna tus
emociones y encuentra la tranquilidad en el caos. The life-changing
principles of Stoicism taught through the story of its most famous
proponent. Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the last famous Stoic
philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal journal,
survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help and spiritual
classics of all time. In How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, cognitive
psychotherapist Donald Robertson weaves the life and philosophy of
Marcus Aurelius together seamlessly to provide a compelling modern-day
guide to the Stoic wisdom followed by countless individuals throughout
the centuries as a path to achieving greater fulfillment and emotional
resilience. How to Think Like a Roman Emperor takes readers on a
transformative journey along with Marcus, following his progress from a
young noble at the court of Hadrian―taken under the wing of some of the
finest philosophers of his day―through to his reign as emperor of Rome
at the height of its power. Robertson shows how Marcus used
philosophical doctrines and therapeutic practices to build emotional
resilience and endure tremendous adversity, and guides readers through
applying the same methods to their own lives. Combining remarkable
stories from Marcus's life with insights from modern psychology and the
enduring wisdom of his philosophy, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor
puts a human face on Stoicism and offers a timeless and essential guide
to handling the ethical and psychological challenges we face today.
