Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a wonderful introduction to one of history's greatest figures: Marcus Aurelius. His life and this book are a clear guide for those facing adversity, seeking tranquility and pursuing excellence." —Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and The Daily Stoic The life-changing principles of Stoicism taught through the story of its most famous proponent. Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the last famous Stoic philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal journal, survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help and spiritual classics of all time. In How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, cognitive psychotherapist Donald Robertson weaves the life and philosophy of Marcus Aurelius together seamlessly to provide a compelling modern-day guide to the Stoic wisdom followed by countless individuals throughout the centuries as a path to achieving greater fulfillment and emotional resilience. 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. Combining remarkable stories from Marcus’s life with insights from modern psychology and the enduring wisdom of his philosophy, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor puts a human face on Stoicism and offers a timeless and essential guide to handling the ethical and psychological challenges we face today.

Book excerpt: The second century CE Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was also a Stoic philosopher, and his private Meditations, written in Greek, gives readers a unique opportunity to see how an ancient person (indeed an emperor) might try to live a Stoic life, according to which only virtue is good, only vice is bad, and the things which we busy ourselves with are all indifferent. The difficulties Marcus faces putting Stoicism into practice are philosophical as well as practical, and understanding his efforts increases our philosophical appreciation of Stoicism.

Book excerpt: A beautifully formatted, easy to read version of a timeless classic!The Meditations present the daily Stoic practice of Marcus Aurelius, emperor of Rome from 161 to 180 AD. Likely written during his years on various military campaigns across the empire, they reflect his efforts to improve himself by fully assimilating the basic principles of Stoicism as put forth by Epictetus, a Greek slave who became the greatest philosopher of his time. To read the Meditations is to see how a practicing Stoic again and again will formulate for himself the central dogmas of Stoicism--that "everywhere and at all times it is in your power to accept your present condition reverently, to behave justly to those around you, and to exert your skill to control your thoughts, that nothing shall steal into them without being well examined" (VII, 54). The primary philosophical influence on Marcus Aurelius was Epictetus, who set forth the basic principles and dogmas of Stoicism and advised practicing Stoics that "these are the things that philosophers ought to study; it is these that they should write about each day; and it is in these that they should exercise themselves" (Discourses I, 1.25). To read Marcus Aurelius's Meditations is to witness just such study and exercise. We see the emperor formulating the same small set of principles, rules, and themes over and over again: The basic Stoic principle: The only good is virtue or moral good (VIII, 1).The three rules/disciplines of judgment, action, and desire: "Your present judgment founded on understanding, and your present conduct directed to social good, and your present disposition of contentment with everything which happens--that is enough" (IX, 6).The various dogmas or themes: "Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind" (IV, 3)."[Men do wrong because of] their ignorance of what is good and evil" (II, 1)."All things happen according to the universal nature; a man's wrongful act is nothing to you; everything which happens, always happened so and will happen so, and now happens so everywhere; the close kinship between you and the whole human race is not of a little blood or seed, but of intelligence; every man's intelligence is a god, and is an efflux of the deity; nothing is a man's own, but that his child and his body and his very soul came from the deity; everything is judgment/opinion; every man lives the present time only, and loses only this" (a list of eight dogmas, all from XII, 26). Marcus did what his philosophical master Epictetus called for practicing Stoics to do. He formulated and reformulated just these principles and themes, and the result of this practice of writing is his Meditations. Read and imitate his practice! If you do, you too might "have these reflections at hand by night and day. Write them down, read them, talk about them, both to yourself, and to somebody else" (Discourses III, 24.103).

Book excerpt: This book is a clear and concise introduction to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. His one major surviving work, often titled 'meditations' but literally translated simply as 'to himself', is a series of short, sometimes enigmatic reflections divided seemingly arbitrarily into twelve books and apparently written only to be read by him. For these reasons Marcus is a particularly difficult thinker to understand. His musings, framed as 'notes to self' or 'memoranda', are the exhortations of an earnest, conscientious Stoic burdened with the onerous responsibilities of ruling an entire, enormous empire. William O. Stephens lucidly sketches Marcus Aurelius' upbringing, family relations, rise to the throne, military campaigns, and legacy, situating his philosophy amidst his life and times, explicating the factors shaping Marcus' philosophy, and clarifying key themes in the Memoranda. Specifically designed to meet the needs of students seeking a thorough understanding of this key figure and his major work, Marcus Aurelius: A Guide for the Perplexed is the ideal guide for understanding this Stoic author - the only philosopher who was also an emperor.
