The Meditations
by Marcus Aurelius
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius was enjoyable. It’s interesting how similar human nature is now as compared to his time.
There were many things in this philosophical work that still apply today - how one should deal with others and conduct himself (or herself) in public, and just as importantly how one should treat nature, and to not fight what is natural. Advice like, (and I’m paraphrasing) “Do work that comes naturally to you”, is really good advice and is often forgotten these days. Aurelius also talked a lot about “carpe diem”/seizing the day almost to ad nauseum. It got repetitive and tedious in parts, but the overall message of Meditations was positive and uplifting. 3 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
