He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet his work has largely been left to gather dust in academia – until now. \u003ci\u003eHow to Think Like Socrates\u003c\/i\u003e is an entertaining and informative primer on the life of the great thinker – and the first book to focus on applying his ideas to our daily lives. Author Donald Robertson transports readers back to the streets of ancient Athens, expertly weaving together a page-turning account of the visionary man who eschewed material pleasures and stood by his beliefs, even in the face of controversy, with a steadfastness that ultimately resulted in his execution. \u003ci\u003eHow to Think Like Socrates\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the continuing importance of the four cardinal virtues of Greek philosophy: wisdom; justice; courage; temperance. As a practising cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, Robertson also uses his expertise to reveal the many ways in which the evidence-based concepts and techniques of modern psychology can trace their roots back to Socrates and shows how his philosophical insights can guide and benefit all of us to this day.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46677206565022,"sku":"TLD-9781035054787","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781035054787.jpg?v=1775454468","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781035054787","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
