About Marcus Aurelius and stoicism

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor who practiced Stoicism, a philosophy that emphasizes stepping back from emotional and physical chaos to reach a state of calm and clear-headed thinking. Although Stoicism was conceived in ancient times, its guiding principles are still relevant today. Marcus Aurelius was also one of the most powerful leaders in European history, assuming control of the Roman empire at the height of its power. While he never claimed to be a Stoic, his Meditations offer readers a unique opportunity to see how an ancient person, even an emperor, might try to live a Stoic life.
