About this audiobook

Meditations is the private notebook of Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher. He wrote it to himself, often while on campaign, as a way to stay calm, fair and clear-headed: accept what you cannot control, do your duty, treat others well, and remember that life is short. There is no plot, just short, direct thoughts you can take in any order. Read by Gary Middleton. A good companion for anyone looking for steadiness in a hard season, from a man who ruled an empire and still had to remind himself how to live.
