Summary
Lou Marinoff – a Commonwealth Scholar originally from Canada – is Professor and former Chair of the Philosophy Department at The City College of New York, founding President of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA), and Editor of APPA's Journal, Philosophical Practice. Lou collaborates with global organizations that contribute to building cultures of peace, prosperity and harmony – Bellwether Alliance (Pensacola), Biovision (Lyon), Ducere (Canberra), Festival of Thinkers (Abu Dhabi), Horasis (Zurich), Soka Gakkai International (Tokyo), Strategic Foresight Institute (Mumbai), and the World Economic Forum (Davos). Lou has authored international bestsellers -- Plato Not Prozac, Therapy for the Sane, The Middle Way, The Power of Dao -- that apply philosophy to the resolution of everyday problems. The New York Times called him “the world’s most successful marketer of philosophical counseling.” Lou co-founded the American Philosophical Practitioners Association in 1999. APPA trains philosophers – as well as other professionals – to practice philosophy with individuals, groups and organizations. APPA has certified practitioners in more than 30 US States and 20 countries internationally. Lou has been featured in three documentary films to date, two of them focused on professional sports. He is a three-time Canadian Open Table Hockey champion (1978-79-80) and made a comeback in 2006. He has won the Las Vegas Open, the Johnny Good Guy, the US Open, and is 6-time New York City champion. Lou is committed to giving the gift of table hockey -- a game for all and a sport for life -- to community centers and schools from coast to coast, where it will do a world of good. www.loumarinoff.com | https://appa.edu
