About the book

Meditations is a collection of private philosophical reflections by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. Drawing heavily on Stoic philosophy, Marcus writes about duty, mortality, self-control and the need to respond calmly to events beyond one's control. The work remains one of the most widely read texts of ancient philosophy because of its practical and deeply personal approach to living well.
