Meditations by Marcus Aurelius<\/a> is a book of personal reflections, aphorisms, and philosophical observations written by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The Meditations are mainly about the Emperor’s own life and deeds, but they are also about his philosophy on Stoicism.<\/p>\n

Meditations were initially written in Greek as a private document around CE 170. It wasn’t until after his death that it was shared with others. Meditations have been considered one of the great works of philosophy because it gives readers insight into what someone who lived over 2000 years ago thought about how to live their lives well.<\/p>\n
