Palimpsest: A Novel
Palimpsest: A Novel

Palimpsest is about high ideals and low obsessions; it's about what we believe and what happens when belief degenerates into fanaticism.

How Stoic journaling stopped me overthinking.

If you are interested in learning more about Stoic journaling, register to attend the Stoicon-x ‘Journaling with the Stoics’ workshop on November 1st. — When we experience hardship, we are encouraged to read the Stoics and to start journaling. But while we go all the way back to the ancient Stoic texts and read from there, our understanding of how to journal is much more contemporary.

Meditations on “Meditations”

Towards a more Stoic kind of journaling. I presented this talk at Stoicon-X in Athens, Greece on Sunday, October 6 2019. On Sunday 6 October 2019, I presented a half-hour session what I call “Meditations on ‘Meditation’” or “MoM” at the Stoicon-X Conference held on the day after Stoicon at…

Which is why I’m compiling a list of 10 reasons to create your own “Encheiridion” or Handbook for Life. I started with one big…

Private anger is what is driving political change.

In a recent tweet, Nigel Warburton stated “In British politics, this is no time for Stoicism. We all need to be very angry. And to show it.” In a recent blog post, I too considered Stoicism and anger as a political tool and came to a different conclusion. …

Confession, Catharsis, or Tools for Life?

After a particularly difficult interaction with a key person in my life (a few years back now), I packed a notebook and my favourite Lamy fountain pen and took myself to a nearby museum. I sat in a comfy armchair in front of a large canvas over which was painted…

Letter #1. On A Summer With Seneca.

I am quite convinced, my dear Stoic souls, that I am not just improving, but transforming. There are still many parts of me that need changing, of course, correcting even, and yet, this, even this fact that I am now writing to you to say this, even the fact that…

Day 25. Saturday, April 6

#DeadGoodApril #MoM I’m not one to celebrate the coming of a weekend as a welcome relief after a week of work grind. But today, I find I am relieved that it is a Saturday and I can hide behind weekend conventions — break, day off, sleep in, snooze, hibernate…

Day 29. Tuesday, April 2

#DeadGoodApril #MoM — The true disciple of philosophy pursues death and dying. Said Socrates, according to Phaedo. And, of course, Plato. I have spent the better part of the last two hours pursuing death and dying. No, I’m not actively pursuing dying — there’s no suicide attempt…
