Coming Soon: "Marcus Aurelius: Life and Stoicism"

“The mind, unconquered by violent passions, is a citadel, for a man has no fortress more impregnable in which to find refuge and remain safe forever.” – Marcus Aurelius

It's been about six months since I ran my course ! I was so busy working on other projects, including finishing my third book about Marcus! I'm pleased to say, though, that enrollment will begin again soon. I have a wealth of new material to share with you from all the research I've been doing. (My prose biography of Marcus for Yale University Press comes out next year, incidentally, but you can already order our graphic novel, Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, which Amazon selected as one of their Best History Books.)

The course will be launching just over a week from now, on Sunday 14th May. As a special thank you to everyone who's subscribed to my newsletter and email courses, I'll be offering the course at a reduced price for a limited time only. So don't miss out!  (If you’re a Founding member of my Substack newsletter, remember you can register free of charge.)

There's a lot more information online but, in brief, this is a practical training course in applying Stoic philosophy to daily life. There are many great resources in it that I wouldn't be able to put into a book, like audio and video recordings, discussions, quizzes, graphics, and even some of the written content. It's based around the example of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, the most famous Stoic of all. The course is four weeks long, and each section includes a rich variety of eLearning resources plus optional live webinars on what we can learn from Marcus' Stoicism and apply in our own lives.

You can view the main page and preview some of the course content online right now. Enrollment will take place over the next few days...

Stay tuned for some more important new information coming your way very soon.

Warm regards,

Donald Robertson
