In this episode of Lit in a Nutshell, we explore How to Think Like an Emperor by Donald Robertson, a fascinating blend of psychology, philosophy, and history that brings the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius into modern life.

We uncover how Stoic principles—resilience, mindfulness, and emotional control—can help us navigate today’s challenges with calm and clarity. From confronting fear and anxiety to leading with integrity, this book shows how ancient lessons from a Roman emperor can still guide us toward mental strength and inner peace.

Join us as we distill the key ideas, reflections, and practical exercises that teach us how to think, live, and lead like an emperor—one thought at a time.
