Book launch! How to Be a (Happy) Skeptic!

My new book, How to Be a (Happy) Skeptic: The Power of Doubt in a Meaningful Life–Lessons from Cicero's Philosophy, is coming out, in both the US and the UK, on June 16th!

Join me on publication day for a special online event featuring a conversation between yours truly and my friend and collaborator Skye Cleary. We'll examine the philosophy of Skepticism, what it offers to modern life, how it can be combined with other philosophies of life, such as Stoicism, and what Marcus Tullius Cicero contributed to all of this.

The book is available for purchase here and here, and wherever books are sold. Enjoy!
