About this product:
  • "How to Think Like a Roman Emperor takes readers on a transformative journey along with Marcus, following his progress from a young noble at the court of Hadrian—taken under the wing of some of the finest philosophers of his day—through to his reign as emperor of Rome at the height of its power. Robertson shows how Marcus used philosophical doctrines and therapeutic practices to build emotional resilience and endure tremendous adversity, and guides readers through applying the same methods to their own lives."

This book is about stoic philosophy as practiced by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, and I recommend it to anyone who likes books that might make them stop and think about their lives.

This episode of the BBC's In Our Time on Aurelius was pretty good, if (I think) a bit overly critical:

Might be useful background for anyone wanting to get into his work.

Of course the original works are always better but it's not the most accessible when trying to make sense of what's being said, that's why sometimes these books are a good companion to read along.
