Robert Rowland Smith was, for seven years, a Prize Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where his work on philosophy, literature and psychoanalysis was described by Jacques Derrida as ‘superbe'. He now advises blue-chip companies and government departments, teaches at London's School of Life, and writes, among other things, a column on ‘life lessons' in the Evening Standard and a regular column in the Sunday Times. He contributes to the Philosophy Bites podcast series and speaks regularly on BBC radio. His first book, Breakfast with Socrates: The Philosophy of Everyday Life has been translated into sixteen languages.

Robert writes non-fiction that applies philosophy, psychoanalysis and literature to the concerns of everyday life. His follow-up book is Driving with Plato: The Meaning of Life’s Milestones, which combines the best brains in history for the first time in a smart, witty and accessible journey through life's ups and downs. Drawing on philosophy, art, literature and psychology, Driving with Plato explores the real meaning of the hoops we all have to jump through.
