You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
A profound collection of personal writings by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180 BCE), Meditations offers insights into Stoic philosophy and reflections on life, ethics, and self-improvement. Written as notes to himself, these meditations touch on themes of cosmic interconnectedness and the impermanence of life. Aurelius emphasizes the power of the mind, the importance of self-awareness, and the ability to choose how one responds to events. The book delves into the concept of virtue, the control of one’s thoughts and actions, and the acceptance of external events beyond one’s control. Revered as embodying the concept of the Philosopher King, Marcus Aurelius is remembered for his contemplative nature, ethical leadership, and commitment to reason in governance. His timeless work invites readers to contemplate the nature of existence, the importance of self-reflection and the pursuit of inner peace amidst life’s challenges.

About Author
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121 and was later adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius, whom he succeeded in 161. His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during his later years and never meant for formal publication. He died in 180, while campaigning against the barbarian tribes on Rome’s northern frontier.
