Thank you to everyone for your kind support.  I couldn't do it without you!  Writing non-fiction doesn't pay the bills very easily unless you have a number one bestseller.  I've been lucky enough to make it this far, though, and I intend to keep going strong.

I am a cognitive psychotherapist, trainer, and writer.  I'm also an e-learning entrepreneur.  In recent years I've been travelling a bit and most of my time is now focused on writing books and e-learning courses on Stoicism and personal development psychology.

Recently, I've been working on a revised and improved version of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, my course on the life and Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius and producing free resources on Stoicism like the new Stoic Therapy Toolkit (PDF) with beautiful imagery by my graphic designer Rocio de Torres. 

My work has often featured in the media of different countries, including a recent article on the front cover of the Toronto Globe and Mail.
