That's a great article. Thanks for posting it. I think I'll get his book on Stoicism, having read the article.

Having recently read a book on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy ("Change Your Thinking" by Sarah Edelman), I can't help noticing there seems to be quite a strong similarity between the CBT and the Stoic approaches to dealing with misfortune, resentment and anxiety. Not surprising then that CBT is the one form of psychotherapy that has very widespread support in the medical and psychological professions, and a good track record of success.
