About the Author

Derek Castleman is a writer, educator, scientist, data analyst and philosopher. Struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism for over fifteen years while at the same time suffering from being bipolar, he was finally able to achieve recovery in 2018. From mental hospitals to rehab, county jail to sober living, 12 Step Programs would be his foundation, but he would eventually discover the path of Stoicism to be the key to his sobriety and sanity. From the rooms of meetings to the online community posting as The Sober Stoic, he shares with the world how ancient philosophy can be used to live a better life of recovery.
