| Abstract | "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"--Back cover. |
