What Students are Saying

Here is what people who completed the earlier versions of this course said about it:

Nobody exemplifies Stoicism as does Marcus Aurelius. Because of the extremely difficult and unpredictable events that came into his life when he became Emperor, his embodiment of Stoic ideas burned in his blood... A year ago I would not have imagined how to think like a Roman Emperor. Nowadays it is the only game in town worth playing. – Melville Richard Alexander

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in Marcus Aurelius or Stoicism generally... For me this was the second time visiting Marcus' meditations. But this is the first time I feel like I've read them with my eyes wide open, in no small part to Donald Robertson's knack for facilitating online courses, and the wonderful group that I've had the opportunity to discuss the content with. – Ronald Willam Brady

I would definitely recommend this course. It is a great overview of stoicism. Using Marcus Aurelius as a role model is brilliant! – Moonhorse

This course brings today's remaining extant Stoic literature to life. Personally, I have read Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and modern Stoicism commentaries. Yet, this course presents Stoicism from Marcus' practical life - his everyday challenges as a normal man and as a highly responsible emperor. He was able to mediate these challenges with Stoic philosophy. Donald Robertson served as a reliable guide using his CBT background and focused scholarship of Stoicism in general and Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" in particular. I feel like this course has given me a "Stoic Mentor/Model'' to emulate and bring my ongoing Stoic readings to life. I now know that I have a "model" to follow as I continue my journey as a "Stoic Student." – RG McNneill Jr

I would definitely recommend this course if you are interested in practicing Stoicism as a way of life. It is complete with an in-depth historical account of the life of Marcus Aurelius and how he adopted his philosophical approach during an extremely turbulent period of history. – Mark Husher

If you were one of the above, then thanks once again for sharing your kind words!

Warm regards,
