Reflections : A Modern Adaptation of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Reflections is a vibrant new translation of the private journals of Marcus Aurelius, the 2nd-century Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher. In his writing, Aurelius grapples with the profound challenges of leadership and the quest for personal integrity. Writing with unsparing honesty, he explores themes of character, duty, the transience of worldly pleasures, and the acceptance of fate, offering counsel to himself and, by extension, to all those who seek wisdom and self-mastery. His terse, aphoristic entries blend personal confession with philosophical inquiry, revealing a mind of great depth and humanity. This volume presents Aurelius' reflections in clear, accessible modern English while staying true to the original text's spirit.
