My guest is my friend Andrea Kirk Assaf, whom I have known for, well, a few decades now. She is the author most recently of 365 Lessons From the Stoics as well as other books that we discuss. Andrea lives in Rome where she and her husband Tony host and teach students in a villa overlooking Vatican City. Andrea is also the youngest daughter of Russell Kirk for whom Kirktober is a celebration.
