a great way to delve into ancient knowledge. Marcus is one of the famous stoics and it's great to get firsthand his thinking of the problems he faced and how stoicism helped.

Absolute classic. It's crazy to me that he wrote this with no intentions of it ever being published.

The start of this book is stronger than the end. Marcus's stoic ideologies and strong connection to the Gods starts to bleed a bit too strongly into his meditations and I found there was less to take from his later entries because of it. The introduction and notes were very helpful in contextualising Marcus's thoughts.

Pretty outdated, but so many good things scattered throughout. I can't find myself following every single word he says and applying it in my daily life, but it truly makes you perceive life differently.
