me lo debería leer de nuevo porque imagino que fue enriquecedor pero de lo único que me acuerdo claramente es que pensé que el estoicismo era la masculinidad frágil llevada a filosofía (soy un poco tonta)

One to revisit for sure. Very thought provoking, the first couple of ‘books’ had more in substance. Some themes/ideas kept reoccurring as you progress into the later ‘books’ (chapters). One to definitely annote and revisit, i’ve already begun my second read!

Interesting concepts and thought provoking. To say this is a little outdated is compliment to its age...not sure many writing hold up this well after 1,900 years. Spookily relevant in many capicites...what does that tell us about human nature?

Marcus Aurelius is just a chill guy who wants you to live the chill, honorable life. Follow nature’s path, remember your time is not infinite, rely on your actions over your words, and you’ll be set on a solid path to being that reliable homie.
Many of his reasonings and analogies felt like they were reaching and outdated, but it’s okay, you’ll still be on the path to being a cool guy.

This is the kind of book you can read at your leisure since it is mostly thoughts on life and living—no stories. I will forgive Aurelius’ repetitions considering the purpose of the work not being intended publication but personal reflection. My favorite parts were his comments on our nature as humans and how pain and joy are just part of the human experience; also enjoyed his commentary on accepting death as part of being alive — not to be feared but part of his repeated ideas on change. Reminded me a lot of Octavia Butler’s ideas on change.
As for classroom use, I took pictures of several paragraphs I’d like to use for students to interpret and argue for/against. Could lead to thoughtful, philosophical discussions.
