Meditations (Marcus Aurelius) - Book Review

'Meditations' are the reflections of Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161-180 AD, renowned for his wise ruling as 'The Philosopher'. The book is a collection of personal notes to himself and is split into 12 chapters (or books) each containing many small quotes/larger thoughts on Stoic philosophy, the nature of Death, living in the present moment and dealing with emotions (amongst other subjects).He never intended for his writings to be published as a book, so we gain the unadulterated wisdom of one of the most powerful people to ever live. We are present to his own struggles with his emotions and of how to live the best life possible. In some parts the language used is difficult to interpret but the book is full of techniques and practical advice of how to endure through suffering and become a better person.If you would like to support the channel, you can grab yourself a copy of the book here! https://amzn.to/3tBmpXQConnect with Mere Mortals:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/Support the show
