A timeless masterpiece of Stoic wisdom, Meditations is a series of personal writings by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-181 AD). Composed across twelve books, these reflective notes were never meant for publication but served as a private guide for his own self-improvement.
Originally written in Ancient Greek under the title Τα εις εαυτόν (Ta Eis Heauton), meaning "That which is to Himself", these meditations offer profound insights into inner strength, virtue, and the nature of existence. Written during different periods of his life, Marcus Aurelius’ words are direct, introspective, and deeply philosophical-focusing on themes of self-discipline, ethical principles, spiritual freedom, and the pursuit of inner peace.
This enduring work of Stoic philosophy continues to inspire readers today, offering guidance on how to cultivate resilience, wisdom, and a sense of purpose in an ever-changing world.
Ideal for those seeking philosophical insight, personal growth, or a deeper understanding of Stoicism.
