I am a philosophy professor with a lifelong interest in understanding what it means to be human, how to live the best life, and how to be my best self so I can leave the world better for my being here. It is possible to be a critical thinker, remain factual about the state of the world, and also be a content and happy well adjusted human being. I specialize in Social Philosophy/Psychology, Philosophy of the Mind, and have extensive training in Secular Mindfulness Meditation.
