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.

I've just finished my sixth book How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. I also create a lot of free resources on Stoicism like the new Stoic Therapy Toolkit (PDF) with beautiful imagery by my graphic designer Rocio de Torres. You'll also find some web comics about ancient philosophy here.

My work has often featured in the media of different countries, including an article on the front cover of the Toronto Globe and Mail and a program on Stoicism I did recently for BBC World Radio.
