Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of Meditations:

The correct philosophy of life according to the stoic Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.

My favorite Marcu Aurelius quote from the book:

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.  Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."

Questions I pondered while reading Meditations:

Why isn't this philosophy more commonly taught?

Can you think yourself happy?

My review of Meditations:

Favorite philosophy and philosopher.

These are the rules for life.

Yay! Stoicism.
