After getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering, he studied social psychology in London and Berkeley obtaining a PhD with a dissertation on Sigmund Freud. He subsequently worked for forty years in British Higher Education institutions, including Imperial College, Royal Holloway and the University of Bath. During this period, he published ten books and numerous articles, edited several journals and ran a storytelling seminar.
As a Greek, he has always been fascinated by myths and stories, using his psychoanalytic knowledge to study narratives as opening valuable windows into many political, cultural and organizational phenomena, including leader-follower relations, nostalgia, insults, apologies, job loss, conspiracy theories and institutional failures. Many of his works explore the relevance of ancient Greek myths for today’s world. This book draws together his fascination with stories with his lifelong love of classical music.
