Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. 161–180). A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus’s insights and advice—on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others—have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago.

A clareza de um pensador milenar

É impressionante a clareza da mente de uma pessoa que viveu há quase 2000 anos.

Marcus Aurélius mostra o quão comprometido foi com seus princípios e com sua ânsia por viver pela sociedade.

O livro é uma espécie de diário auto-reflexivo, no qual o imperador vai refletir e se cobrar sobre suas ações e angústias.

Recomendado para quem se interessa por grandes questões do universo, estoicismo, filosofia greco-romana e a vida e a morte.
