Meditations

Marcus Aurelius, c. 180

Free to read online

Private notes a Roman emperor wrote to keep himself steady. Read a page a day.

Talk about it

  1. Marcus wrote these notes to himself, not for us. How does that change the way you read them?
  2. Which entry would you put on your own wall, and why that one?
  3. He ruled an empire. What did he still find hard to control?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
