He is a father, husband, professor and author Of A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy and more recently, The Stoic Challenge: A Philosopher's Guide to Becoming Tougher, Calmer and More Resilient.  In this interview Bill discusses how he discovered Stoicism, the psychological strategies behind Stoicism, how the Stoics engaged in their own therapy, and how the Stoics would handle a pandemic.
