Meditations

In “A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy”, “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius was mentioned as a source material for Stoicism. If “Guide to the Good Life” was easy to read, Meditations was Stoicism on hard mode. Often I can give a book partial attention, I needed full concentration on this one to make it through. It features a number of one off lines that are inspiring and influential, but often hidden away in a few paragraphs that wander around a subject before jumping in.
