Why read it?
1 author picked Meditations as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Meditations is a collection of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor (at the other extreme, Epictetus was born a slave). The original title is unknown, and over the years many titles have be used, such as ‘The Book of Marcus’ and ‘Things to one’s self’. I suggest that the latter title, more accurately reflect its contents.
From Gary's list on understanding Stoicism from multiple perspectives.
