Meditations

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them." From expressing his gratitude to the ones from whom he had learned important qualities and lessons in life to detailing his thoughts and reflections over a wide range of subjects including our mind and thoughts, life and death, goodness, self-judgement, virtuousness, nature, leadership, and human rationality, Meditations gives an insight into the inner life and philosophy of the last of the ' Five Good Emperors, ' Marcus Aurelius.
With ancient wisdom that is as relevant in modern times as it was then, Aurelius' Meditations is one of the greatest works of Greek and philosophical literature. A series of twelve books, it has continued to influence its readers throughout the centuries.
