I sat down with Donald Robertson, author and psychotherapist, for a proper conversation about Socrates: his life, his methods, and why a man who wrote nothing down still shapes how we think two and a half thousand years later.

Donald blends cognitive behavioural therapy with ancient philosophy, so this is Socrates read through a modern, practical lens: what his way of questioning actually does to your thinking, and how it feeds into the self-help that came long after him. This one ties in with Donald's book How to Think Like Socrates.
