This eLearning course contains lots of free resources based on my book How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. It's designed for people who haven't read the book yet but are interested in finding out more. If you do want to get a copy of the book when it's published, though, you'll get even more out of these resources.
You'll find an interview with me, the author, as well as videos in which I read excerpts from each chapter and provide a commentary explaining the contents. There are also lots of bonus resources, including Marcus Aurelius comic strips, a quiz, and an article about my experience of writing the book, as well as some links to podcasts and other relevant interviews.
By enrolling on this course, you'll sign up to receive weekly reminder emails linking to each part of the content.
I hope you enjoy the course and look forward to hearing from you in the online discussions!
