Unread Little Classics: Meditations

Marcus Aurelius was the "philosopher-emperor" of ancient Rome. In history, apart from Aurelius, there is probably no other emperor who was wise and practiced philosophy. After working hard in government affairs, he used his short leisure time to talk to himself and think about life, and wrote "Meditations", the "Book of the World". This book is a milestone work of Stoicism, which believes that one should live a self-controlled life in accordance with the laws of nature and return to a peaceful, calm and rational state of mind. To this day, it is still a good remedy for modern people who live under great pressure and have restless minds.
