How to Think Like Sokrates

How can we apply the teachings of the greatest ancient philosopher to modern life?

Socrates is the quintessiential Greek philosopher, the source of the entire Western philosophical tradition and the godfather of the Stoics. He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people on the streets of Athens, yet few today are familiar with the wisdom he has to offer us.

This is an accessible and informative guide to one of the greatest thinkers in history, and is the first book to focus on applying his ideas to our daily lives. Author Donald J Robertson transports readers back to ancient Greece, expertly weaving together a page-turning account of a philosopher who eschewed material pleasures and stood by his beliefs, even in the face of controversy, with a steadfastness that ultimately resulted in his execution.

How to Think Like Socrates highlights the continuing value of the Socratic method in modern life. As a practising cognative-behavioural psycotherapist, Robertson also uses his expertise to reveal many parallels between the evidence-based concepts and techniques of modern psycology and the philosophy of Socrates, showing how those insights can inform and benefit all of us every day.
