A method for excellence in any and all situations
A New Translation by Marcus Aurelius
We cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how we cope
A restraint of animal instincts, severing emotional ties
Reflections by the creator of the essay form
Harmony with nature and a reliance on individual integrity
Human action is determined not by reason but by 'will'
The striving after an independent state of mind and body
A Roman slave's profound philosophical observations
One of the earliest influencers of human thought
