Episode: How Marcus Aurelius Became Marcus Aurelius
It was described as one of the favorite books that the speaker read this year. The speaker was particularly impressed with the book and took many notes while reading it.
I've been raving about it since it came out. I took a ton of notes on it. It's one of my favorite books that I read this year.
Definitely grab the book. The audio is good. We have the physical copy here at The Painted Porch, so I'll link to that in today's show notes.
So listen to this episode, grab a signed copy of Marcus Aurelius, The Stoic Emperor, and How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. You can grab both of those from The Painted Porch.
Episode: Bro-icism vs Stoicism | Donald Robertson PT 2
The book was recommended highly by Ryan Holiday, describing it as one of the only non-Ryan Holiday Stoicism books he carries at The Painted Porch.
I cannot recommend his book, Marcus Reuss, The Stoic Emperor enough.
Two of the only non-Ryan Holiday Stoicism books we carry at The Painted Porch, not written by actual Stoics. So I can't recommend them enough.
Episode: Balancing Power As An Emperor | Donald Robertson P...
This book was described as incredible and it was mentioned that the authors discussed it in a conversation because the book is a biography of Marcus Aurelius, the most powerful man in the world.
There really isn't any. There's some great biographical essays, which Gregory Hayes talks about in his intro to meditations. There's some older books. There's some little profiles of him, but there's no great singular biography of Mark Sreelis. And I had to wait almost 20 years for a great biography of Mark Sreelis, which I just read. My friend Donald Robinson's book, Mark Sreelis, The Stoic Emperor, just came out from Yale University Press. And it's incredible.
And I told him this when I read it. We immediately started carrying it in the store. I've written a bunch of daily stoic emails about it. It's just awesome. And I'm so happy that he did it. And I'm glad he did it so I don't have to do it and I can tell you about it. It's a wonderful book.
We ran an excerpt of it on the podcast a couple months back, but I asked if Donald would come out. He lives in Greece, so that was no easy trip. But he was in the United States and he came by.
