Van de Beld, Ben: - Ben van de Beld, a seasoned lawyer and senior executive, makes his mark in the global corporate landscape, applying his legal and commercial insights to the rapid-paced world of international business. Residing in Australia, his professional journey traverses a number of continents. Despite his demanding corporate life, Ben nurtures a fervent interest in philosophy, politics, and religion, passions that have culminated in his debut book, "Theory of Happiness." Drawing from Epictetus's seminal work, "Enchiridion", Ben crafts a modern interpretation of Stoic wisdom, seamlessly aligning it with today's challenges and aspirations. Ben's journey from the courtroom to the boardroom and, finally, to the writer's desk has been marked by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to inspire. With another book in the works, he is committed to providing continued enjoyment to his readers through his thoughtful and engaging writing.
