Marcus Aurelius became the Emperor of the Roman Empire in 161 and ruled for nearly two decades until his death in 180. The gravity of that position and the magnitude of power that Marcus possessed was unequivocal and cannot be under estimated. He held one of the most powerful positions in the world at the time. Nothing was off limits.
Marcus Aurelius has one core work, which was never intended for publication; his Meditations (originally titled “To Himself”) is one of greatest books ever written. It is the definitive text on self-discipline, personal ethics, humility, self-actualization and illuminates the path to building a stronger mindset.
