This podcast is fantastic. It’s so useful. It’s so practical. I will say I feel like Donald’s microphone/audio quality could be improved . But anyways, I would give this podcast six stars if I could.
I could listen to Donald all day - I love how he constantly ties philosophy with modern psychotherapy - it’s fascinating and it has helped me better understand why it works and how to consistently apply it. Thank you for the time and effort you’ve put into this!
I love this podcast about Stoicism. Good insight and practical.
Very relatable and disgusting in a way that every man can understand.
While, the content is excellent, the interviewer’s constant interruptions and interjections are uncalled for. Dr. Robinson, please listen to your own podcast and count the number of times you interject per minute. Then contrast that with how well Sam Harris listened to you without interruption.
