Donald Robertson on Stoicism's Modern Revival and Online Communities

It's just full of you know, horrible, obnoxious people sometimes, you know, if you're a stoic, you might think: well, you know, this is a training ground, it's a gymnasium for the mountains, it's, you know, within reasonable bounds, like you know.
Imagine tapping into ancient wisdom to navigate today's digital world. In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula chats with Donald Robertson, a seasoned writer and trainer, about the resurgence of Stoicism and the role of online communities in spreading its teachings. Robertson, known for his expertise in cognitive-behavioural therapy and classical philosophy, shares his thoughts on why Stoicism resonates with so many people today.
He dives into the benefits and challenges of online discussions, offering practical advice on handling adversity and insults in virtual spaces. Robertson also highlights various modern Stoic resources, from online courses to larger events, that help individuals apply Stoic principles in their daily lives. One of the key takeaways is the importance of community support and learning from diverse perspectives. Robertson encourages listeners to use online interactions as opportunities to develop cognitive flexibility and conflict resolution skills.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in integrating Stoic philosophy into their modern life, especially within the context of online communities.
