About this book
Stunning artworks bring more than sixty reflections from the iconic Stoic work Meditations by Marcus Aurelius to vivid life. "What is not good for the hive is not good for the bee either." —Marcus Aurelius Roman Emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius wrote the twelve books of Meditations over two thousand years ago as a personal diary of notes, nudges, and mental exercises to help him live a good life. His work has since become one of the greatest works of spiritual reflection ever written—required reading for statespersons and philosophers and inspiration to generations of readers who have responded to the intimacy of his writing. With their gentle instructions on living stoically, in harmony with nature, and in pursuit of the common good, Aurelius's lessons still resonate today, helping us manage the modern malaise. This beautifully designed book features a curated selection from modern philosopher James Romm of the most significant life lessons, arranged in chapters that touch on the mind, living well, nature, community, compassion, time, death, and more. Woodcut-style art adds texture and color to the pages, illustrating the concepts of each lesson in the book. Chapter introductions explain each lesson's history and philosophy, and throughout, modern philosophical commentary expands on each lesson, making this a perfect Stoic starting point and gift for anyone who loves ancient philosophy.
