In the relentless pursuit of happiness, a common impulse leads us to believe that a change in surroundings will lift the burdens of our minds.
Seneca, the ancient Stoic philosopher, challenges this instinct in his 28th Letter to Lucilius, inviting us to question whether our travels truly offer escape or merely a temporary reprieve.

In today's episode, I interview one of my favorite writers on Stoicism, Donald Robertson.
He's a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, and the author of such books as How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, Verissimus, Stoicism and the Art of Happiness, and The Philosophy of CBT.
His latest book is a biography of Marcus Aurelius, titled Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor.
In the interview, we talk about the book, Marcus Aurelius's life, and some practical techniques for dealing with anxiety.
I hope you enjoy!
