I find the Stoic philosophers bracing but not fully convincing. We know more about the human body than they did and the idea that our emotions are (or can be) under our conscious control is just...

At last I've treated myself to BIAB as a retirement present. I had it about 20 years ago but it 'got cleared' from my computer. Luckily a young person was able to set it up for me! Hoping for...
