My new book Think Like a Stoic is out today. As someone based in Japan, this is a love letter to the western canon of stoic thinking, together with resonance from Japanese philosophy of life exemplified by such concepts as ikigai and nagomi.
I refer to ethics of samurai, as an instance of living for something greater than yourself. I define stoicism as a life in alignment with the laws of nature, and put it in the context of modern scientific discoveries.
I do hope that you will be interested to read this book. I tried to be as honest and uniquely personal as possible, keeping a vista of the wider view of human culture and civilization at the same time.
