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.

Really excited to read this book. I’ve just finished reading your book on Naomi, which really spoke to my heart ( I write a column on Substack Thiswabisabilife.substack.com) Stoicism has much to offer us in our busy fractious worlds. Thanks for your writing.
Thank you for sharing this. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada ❤️😊 🇨🇦
