Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: Writings of civility and humility
Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations offers an inspiring glimpse into the mind of an Emperor, providing profound insights that remain relevant today. For anyone passionate about journaling, note-taking, or maintaining a personal diary, it’s unlikely they imagine their private reflections becoming public—unless they consciously approach the exercise as a memoir. What makes Meditations so enriching is precisely this: Marcus Aurelius never intended his writings to be published.
