I just finished watching this lecture. My introduction to stoicism came from Donald Robertson's book "How To Think Like A Roman Emperor". This lecture feels like a summary of that book with Jonathan's amazing teaching style. Absolutely love it. ❤
Hey Johnathan. Thanks for everything you do. Just know you've made an impact on a fellow entrepreneur that needed to access this information - not saying this because of the lecture on Marcus, but rather for the exploration of the great books. For whatever it is that you decide to do, this is the kind of timeless work that I look up to, and the passionate elegance that you imprint on this task is a trait I'm looking forward to mimetize.
Absolutely love your videos. Most videos about philosophy on yt today are 10-15 min videos that try to explain deep subjects in a extremely shallow way, almost like a commercial. It completely takes out depth that these philosophers wrote with and the meaningful activity of creating your own connections and understanding of the subject. Your work resembles true art and beauty. Thank you again, you are amazing!
Literally, i am checking your channel everyday for new video bcuz i can see the passion for philosophy through your channel and it inspired me alot. Thank you so much buddy

I think I read his biography of Marcus a while back and enjoyed it. Can’t remember exactly though
Thank you for this amazing lecture Johnathan, your speaking skills are impeccable!!

Hyped about this one, I’ve watched Mr Sugrue’s take about Marcus Aurelius this should match up in terms of overall quality
He was a big inspiration 🙏! RIP
