Description

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are a series of personal writings that were created as a form of self-improvement. The purpose was to help Marcus reflect on his own thoughts and actions, in order to grow and become a better person. The writings are a collection of aphorisms, which are brief and insightful statements about life. They offer advice on how to deal with difficult situations, as well as guidance on how to be a good person. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Marcus Aurelius was Roman Emperor from 161 to 180. He ruled with Lucius Verus as co-emperor from 161 until Verus' death in 169. Marcus Aurelius was the last of the so-called Five Good Emperors. He was a practitioner of Stoicism, and his untitled writing, commonly known as the Meditations, is the most significant source of the modern understanding of ancient Stoic philosophy. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161.
