Memoirs, Western philosophy: Ancient, to c 500, Ethics & moral philosophy
As relevant now as when it was written, this study of adversity and how to endure, thrive and find positivity is an essential read.
Although never intended to be published, this iconic philosophical text has become a pillar of Stoic thought. Emperor Marcus Aurelius's personal writings see him grappling to understand himself and the world around him, offering challenges, reflections and contemplations to help better know the world and his place in it. This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Stoicism, resilience and philosophy.
Part of a boldly designed series of classics, with wider margins for notes, this book is perfect for design-lovers and students alike.
"No man ought to be blamed for seeking his own good and happiness."

Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius reigned from 161 AD to 180 AD - perhaps the only true philosopher-king in the history of the world. In his MEDITATIONS, a series of notes to himself, he formulated his pantheist Stoic beliefs with a passionate religious conviction. The MEDITATIONS were written day by day, in every situation including war. They often appear to be responses to the stress of supreme power, from the imminent fear of death in battle, to the trials of everyday life.
