A great book written by a great man.

Aurelius doesn't get enough credit. He was Emperor of Rome at its peak. He could do anything. Have anything. Be anything.

So he chose to be as moral and upright a man as possible. Amazing.

I have it! I read a bit every day. It is divided into small portions. Instead of reading it through I read a portion daily and then meditate on what I read.

Could anyone recommend similar books?

DarthSchadenfreude · 2018-07-30T17:16:29+00:00

One of my favorites.

That's a great book man, I love it

2018-07-30T13:56:59+00:00

Try also Against the Gallileans from Julian the Apostate.

Great Roman emperor too.

Marcus was one of the first 'red pilled' Men, in that he understood the conundrum of morality versus humanity all too well.

We spend our days enraged by every single way we're slighted and stepped on. Marcus was one of the first People to step above that and basically say 'accept this, rise above it, and you will be ultimately better for it'

Aw yis Marcus Aurelius was a favorite Roman emperor.

Many people like it. I am not a particular fan of the selflessness it promotes, but otherwise I think it's good stuff.

2018-07-30T17:33:37+00:00

I like it in spite of the selflessness it promotes.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Enjoy. Bring a highlighter.

2018-07-30T21:22:09+00:00

Don't read it cover to cover. Read the small bits and think on them.

Mgtaoteching · 2018-07-30T22:51:16+00:00

Great stuff. You can reread that for years and still keep learning. I recommend the Tao Te Ching for some Eastern readings. Once you get used to the language, it’s hard to put down.

Make sure to get the one translated by Gregory Hays.
The others language is to archaic for me. They use words like thy, doth.... I hate having to decipher the meaning. Gregory Hays just says it straight forward, easy modern language.

RemotelyRelate · 2018-07-30T16:20:26+00:00

I liked The Tao of Seneca more.
