How to Think Like Socrates: Ancient Philosophy as a Way of Life in the Modern World

By Donald J. Robertson

Donald J. Robertson’s How to Think Like Socrates is a compelling exploration of how Socratic philosophy, particularly as it intersects with Stoicism, can be applied as a practical framework for living a thoughtful, reflective, and fulfilling life in the modern world. The book draws heavily on the teachings of Socrates, considered the forefather of ancient philosophy, and demonstrates how his principles can serve as a timeless guide for critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and emotional resilience. Robertson weaves ancient philosophy with modern psychology and self-improvement techniques, offering a practical approach to integrating Socratic methods into everyday life.
