Featured book: Books That Matter-Meditations (Teaching Company). A 12-lecture video and audio course on one of the most influential Stoic books of all time.

Featured essay: The varieties of bad Stoicism. Stoicism is very popular these days. Perhaps a bit too much.

Featured technical paper: Nature vs nurture: time to let it go, co-written with Jonathan Kaplan, explains why it’s time to get over the classic dichotomy and get serious about the study of human nature.
