How
can
we
apply
the
teachings
of
the
greatest
ancient
philosopher
to
modern
life?Socrates
is
the
quintessential
Athenian
philosopher,
the
source
of
the
entire
Western
philosophical
tradition,
and
Godfather
to
the
Stoics.
He
spent
his
life
teaching
practical
philosophy
to
ordinary
people
in
the
streets
of
Athens,
yet
few
people
today
are
familiar
with
the
wisdom
he
has
to
offer
us.How
to
Think
Like
Socrates
is
an
accessible
and
informative
guide
to
the
life
of
one
of
the
greatest
thinkers
in
history,
and
the
first
book
to
focus
on
applying
his
ideas
to
our
daily
lives.
Author
Donald
J.
Robertson
transports
readers
back
to
ancient
Athens,
expertly
weaving
together
a
page-turning
account
of
a
philosopher
who
eschewed
material
pleasures
and
stood
by
his
beliefs,
even
in
the
face
of
controversy,
with
a
steadfastness
that
ultimately
resulted
in
his
execution.How
to
Think
Like
Socrates
highlights
the
continuing
value
of
the
Socratic
Method
to
modern
life.
As
a
practicing
cognitive-behavioral
psychotherapist,
Robertson
also
uses
his
expertise
to
reveal
many
parallels
between
the
evidence-based
concepts
and
techniques
of
modern
psychology
and
the
philosophy
of
Socrates,
and
shows
how
his
philosophical
insights
can
guide
and
benefit
all
of
us
to
this day.
