Synopsis

The private notebook of a Roman emperor who never intended it to be published. Marcus Aurelius spent two decades at war while writing himself reminders about how to stay calm when people are awful, how to act well without recognition, and why most of what we fear is not worth it. The founding text of modern stoicism.
