The Inner Citadel: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius by Pierre Hadot

challenging informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

This is a very rewarding book if you invest time and concentration. Very well structured, it gives a good view of Marcus and his world as well as stoic philosophy in general. Other than many of the current stoic manuals, it puts the philosophy in a broader context and also doesn't shy away from parts of the system that are not compatible to today's worldview. Might just be the definitive work on Marcus.
