Being the private thoughts of the Emperor this book gives a perspective that is different from other philosophers of the time.I recommend this as it is solid, natural and a good way to give yourself some foundations for being a good human, living a good life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How it is ... really .. Leave Rhonda at the door, brace yourself - breath, be happy *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 June 2019* If ever there was a book that should be required reading on the natonal curriculum ... apart from Victor Frankl's wonderful "Man's Search for Meaning ... this is it. Life - a funny old thing. Exceptional, down to earth, no mysterious "a saviour will come ... " (he/she won't by the way) nonsense .... and the Universe won't give you everything you want if you just thnk it. You have to do something - starting with control of your perceptions and your brain. Amazing 2000 year+ old wisdom. What have the Romans ever done for us? here it is and you don't have to have an opinion about everything - Wonderful wonderful book.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 March 2023* Really enjoyed this book, very insightful ## Frequently Bought Together - Marcus Aurelius - Meditations: Adapted for the Contemporary Reader - The 48 Laws of Power - The Art of War (Deluxe Hardbound Edition) (Fingerprint!
