Reading Material - "How to Think Like Socrates" - Donald Robertson This meeting will cover the last three chapters of the book, "The Fall of Athens", "The Thirty Tyrants" and "The Swan Song". 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. 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. The book 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 insights can guide and benefit all of us to this day.
