Emperor of Rome, Marcus Aurelius was initially a student of the Stoic masters. This training enabled him to overcome the difficulties and contradictions imposed by his role: a man of peace, he waged numerous wars; a thoughtful and reserved man, he had a destiny that was in the public eye.
From the Stoics, he learned resilience and self-control. He also developed techniques, which he describes in this work, to maintain the serenity he desired. He composed these Meditations during a time of great turmoil, when he was defending the Empire against barbarian invaders from the north and east. And he transforms the Stoicism of the ancients into a system of action, applicable to both politics and self-governance.
A surprisingly modern and easy-to-understand book that can serve as your personal guide. A large-print edition for easier reading.
