However, I always yearned to bring these three things – therapy, philosophy and meditation – more closely into harmony, and it was only some years later that my eyes were opened to the rich tradition of spiritual exercises in ancient philosophical literature by the writings of the eminent French scholar, Pierre Hadot, such as his Philosophy as a Way of Life (1995). Hadot’s marvellous books ignited my interest in Stoicism and inspired me to begin publishing short articles on the subject myself. This led to a longer article on Stoicism for one of the main counselling and psychotherapy journals (2005), and eventually a book on Stoicism and modern psychotherapy called The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy: Stoic Philosophy as Rational and Cognitive Psychotherapy (2010).

Many people, on the other hand, will have learned of Stoicism from Tom Wolfe’s acclaimed novel, A Man in Full (1998). Two of the central characters become ‘converts’ to Stoicism at pivotal points, and their use of Stoicism becomes central to the climax of the story. The second half of the book contains many references, therefore, to the sayings of Epictetus.
