Stoicism | Pocket Books | Recently Added

The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote these meditations in the form of a personal journal during his campaigns against the barbarians in the second century. In them, he reflects with great beauty and simplicity upon the Stoic virtues that lead to a happy life- self-mastery, moral strength, duty to oneself and others, detachment, and acceptance of the will of God and the way of nature.
