The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (works)

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are a collection of personal reflections and philosophical thoughts written by the Roman emperor aimed at guiding himself toward virtue, self-discipline, and resilience. They explore themes such as the impermanence of life, the importance of rationality, and accepting circumstances beyond one’s control. The work offers practical advice on maintaining inner calm, humility, and moral integrity amidst life's challenges. While rooted in Stoic philosophy, it remains accessible for anyone seeking to cultivate mental strength and clarity in a complex world.
