In our 3rd interview with Stoic author, philosopher and cognitive behavioural therapist, Donald Robertson, we discuss his brand new graphic novel, VERISSIMUS.
This is the most epic philosophical project that I am aware of to date.
If Ridley Scott's Gladiator had a baby with Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, you’d get Verissimus.
As you’ll hear in this interview, this project was a massive undertaking, taking nearly 3 years to complete. Detailing the life, times, and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, the book acts as a historically accurate, action-packed entry point into the Stoic landscape.
In this episode, we cover:

The process of creating this book
Why Donald decided to make a graphic novel
Why many Romans actually opposed Marcus Aurelius
Marcus’ mission to cultivate natural compassion towards all human beings, even his worst enemies
The absurdity of Stoicism’s most popular criticism
Stoicism’s deep influence on early Christianity
The relationship between intuition and reason
Jon’s single favourite chapter on Stoicism
