Wisdom that transcends time. The long dead Roman emperor’s thoughts and fancies are still so relevant to your everyday ups and downs. Delivered in digestible bits, read one a day to set your mind right, or binge them all and let simmer over time. The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (AD 121-180) embodied in his person that deeply cherished ideal figure of antiquity, the philosopher-king. His Meditations, written in moments snatched from military campaigns and the rigors of politics, reveal a mind of exceptional clarity and originality, and a sprit attuned to both the particulars of human destiny and the vast patterns which underlie it.
