Interview by Meredith, Kunz, a prominent blogger on Stoicism, from Silicon Valley.
Her writing has been published in Newsweek, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Industry Standard, California Lawyer, Stanford Business, Stanford Report, Stanford Benefactor, Biomedical Computation Review, San Francisco Daily Journal, Artweek, and more. She earned my undergraduate degree at Harvard and her master's at Stanford. 


In this interview, I answer some questions regarding how Stoicism entered my life from a young age,
due to my father.

He was born in a mountain village of Sparta, which was burned by the Nazis in WWII, and joined the resistance at age fifteen. In the late 60's he was sent to a concentration camp for fighting against the Greek Military Junta in 1967, and later got political asylum in Canada.

He introduced me to Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, but more importantly,  his way of raising my sister and me i.e. the values he instilled in us, led to mental resilience and self-discipline.

References to Donald Robertson and Ryan Holiday's books etc..

Enjoy reading, and I am happy to read about how YOU discovered Greek philosophy or practice Stoicism etc. 

From Athens, Greece

Thank you for the free videos. I am retired and moved here from the US. Married a Greek woman. I have a hard time with my life. I am a Vietnam veteran and have diseases from the war. I have Post Traumatic Disorder. It causes me to avoid and trust people even family. I hope to learn more from your videos.
Sorry this was so long.
