Gary began his career as a philosophy professor. After 15 years as a professor, and as a tenured member of the faculty at St. John’s College in Annapolis, MD, Gary returned to graduate school and earned an MA in Mental Health Counseling. He is currently a psychotherapist in private practice. He has a PhD in philosophy from Emory University. In 2012 his first book, Willing Dogs & Reluctant Masters: on friendship and dogs, was published. He is currently finishing his second book. Its working title is Come Together: the art, science, and philosophy of cooperative alliances. You can get a taste of the new book by subscribing to my short weekly note, "How We Help", about the art, science, and philosophy of helping relationships. https://garyborjesson.substack.com
