Meditations is a compendium of ruminations and reflections by the
second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, a staunch adherent to the
Stoic philosophy. It is a spiritual journal of the author’s
philosophical exercises and a chronicle of the paradox of the
philosopher-king.

A powerful and accessible translation of Marcus Aurelius's timeless
book on character, what it takes to be a good leader, and how to
live a fulfilling life. Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire at
its height, yet he remained untainted by the immense wealth and
absolute power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. He knew
the secret of how to live the good life amid trying and often
catastrophic circumstances, of how to find happiness and peace when
surrounded by misery and turmoil, and how to make the right
choices--even if they are more difficult--without regard for
self-interest. Offering a vivid and fresh translation of this
important piece of ancient literature, Meditations brings Marcus's
inspiring words to life and shows his wisdom to be as relevant
today as it was in the second century. This book speaks to the soul
of anyone who has ever faced adversity or believed in a better day.
