Book Review Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

September 06, 2022 • Professor Jonathan Marks • Season 1 • Episode 35

This classic Stoic text from philosopher and Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius offers insights into her code of living through 12 books. Settled around the themes of service to society, logic and reasoning and existentialism, the book offers solace for a modern life that is complicated and complex, yet in many ways so very simple to live and lead.

Each book contains simple truths and reflections, remarkably relevant today even though they were written thousands of years ago. This is a book to keep by your bedside and to read in small bits as you find yourself needing some wisdom to navigate your life.
