Written by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are the spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Today these simple, practical aphorisms continue to offer guidance and consolation to many with their eloquence, wisdom and humility.
