Summary
Written in Greek， without any intention of publication， by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher， the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius （AD 121-180） offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe。 Ranging from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation， they cover such diverse topics as the nature of moral virtue， human rationality， divine providence， and Marcus' own emotions。 But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement， in developing his beliefs Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection of extended meditations and short aphorisms that has been consulted and admired by statesmen， thinkers and readers through the centuries。

Couldn’t finish the book。 The book consists of random quotes collected into one book。 It didn’t seem to follow any logical structure and so I found it hard to remain focused。

So scheide denn freundlich von hinnen， denn auch er， der dich entläßt， ist freundlich！ Dieser schöne Schlusssatz von Aurel ist ein alter Bekannter von mir， denn vor 21 Jahren schrieb ich ihn mit Edding auf meinen Deutschhefter， auf dass die Mitschüler Augen machen mögen。 Ham sie zwar nicht， die Banausen， aber was mit Edding steht， hat ja Bestand。 So auch dieses Buch！

Valuable book for men about Stoicism and it’s pretty crazy this is basically a Roman emperor’s diary。 A lot of it still relevant today。 The mindset is essentially to crack on with life and make the best moves possible， rather than spending time obsessing over your feelings。 I did think the last couple of chapters dragged a bit after you’ve already understood the underlying concept。 Would definitely recommend to men。

People say that Marcus Aurelius was the only Roman ruler that was also a philosopher。 His main recurring concerns were four I would say:* death and how to let go of life gracefully and how to not be afraid of the end，* how to stop wishing for glory and being liked by people， and doing what is right and not what people want from you，* how to not desired riches and pleasure and be satisfied with your life by just being fair， just and doing your job well，* and how to stop being angry at fellow huma People say that Marcus Aurelius was the only Roman ruler that was also a philosopher。 His main recurring concerns were four I would say:* death and how to let go of life gracefully and how to not be afraid of the end，* how to stop wishing for glory and being liked by people， and doing what is right and not what people want from you，* how to not desired riches and pleasure and be satisfied with your life by just being fair， just and doing your job well，* and how to stop being angry at fellow human when they behave like selfish as******， and how to keep waking up and doing the duty of ruling by interacting with people without being sick of them。Isn't it crazy that the arguably most powerful ruler on the planet in those days， or at least in Eurasia， would think about being fair， not being greedy， and just being a good person？ Can you imagine any modern ruler being like that？ Also， doing what is right and not being a populist is something only an emperor can do， I guess。 Of course， we do not know how well he implemented his ideas， or perhaps some historians know but I don't。 Anyone can write in their diary， I want to not be selfish and not run after glory and riches， but then do just that。 But I definitely believe that he was honest in his diary。 And I cannot imagine any modern politician to want to be a good quality human being above everything else。I also found it funny that Marcus Aurelius considered himself somewhat stupid and slow in the mind。 He regretted that he will not be considered a philosopher by the "real" philosophers because he's not very smart and because he doesn't have much time to read。 He also regretted that nobody will ever remember him after his death。 And here he is， one of the most known philosophers whose philosophical "book" people still read 2000 years later。To be honest， I'm not sure his goals about dealing with people were realistic。 He asked himself to forgive anybody and not get angry at selfish and unjust fellow humans。 Is that really a healthy life strategy？ Maybe for a ruler it is？ In any case， he tried to learn to keep a cool head at all times and not let anger cloud his judgement。 I guess from that point of view being tolerant is a solution。 But， yeah， I think he wanted too much from himself and got upset that he's not reaching such high ideals。The ideas and teachings of the book themselves are nothing special。 I mean， he didn't even expect it to be published， it was just a personal diary， let's not judge。 So I wouldn't say I learned much from the book on the strategic level。 But I did learn a lot about how people thought back in the days， and things seem to not have changed that much since。 We think 2000 years is such a long time， and yes， the civilization made huge progress， but I expected the difference to be much bigger。 Turns out， Marcus Aurelius was a dude with problems that any of us can relate to today， 2000 years later。 His job was quite peculiar but otherwise his concerns were just like what anyone may have today。Some people say that he didn't rule that well， that he was repressing the Christians when that religious sect began。 But I don't know if that's true。 Book X， which is the only one that has a sentence about Christians， was written in a very different style。 As if it was written by a person with very different ideals and who saw the world much more black and white。 I read somewhere that many scholars agree that the chapter was written by someone else and that's my opinion as well。In any case， wanting to be a good， wise and just ruler is only a part of what makes a good ruler。 I have a feeling that Marcus Aurelius was actually an introvert。 If he could choose a profession today， he would be something like a professor in math。 But as his life was， I think he didn't have much choice。 He was adopted by the previous emperor at a rather young age。 As a contrast， I have a distinct feeling that Caesar was an extrovert and enjoyed interacting with humans。 It feels like he always had a lot of energy and had a whole lot of projects going on。 Is it better to not love ruling very much but wanting to be good at it， or loving to rule but putting what's good for you very much above what is good for the nation？ I think slow but steady and fair is better that energetic but not always fair。 Especially because he who starts energetic and does good things because they align with his own goals， may end up with the personal gain and the country gain become the opposites and making the wrong choice。 Such rulers are very dangerous。 Unfortunate， it fells likethe majority of politicians that we have today are Caesars， not Marcus Aureliuses。 I guess， in any era of civilization this was the case。 That's why Marcus Aurelius is so special。 I don't know when there will be another ruler like him again。。。 。。。more

A very readable idiomatic English translation。 It is interesting to see the similarities and differences in Stoic and Christian thought。A book that challenges the reader to reflect on his own life and response to the events that happen to him。I shall return to it again and re-read it more slowly to enable a deeper reflection on its meaning。It does not surprise me the book has passed through the ages from the second century to the twenty-first。

I chose to read this book because my son has started studying Latin this school year， and we are taking him to Italy this summer， and because some of my friends have recently become interested in stoic philosophy。 I didn’t find anything interesting or useful at all in this book。 To me， it sounded like a large collection of words that didn’t really say anything at all。 I will look for other ways to learn more about stoic philosophy and support my son’s interest in Roman culture。
