A long – studied book of wisdom, Meditations was written by Marcus Aurelius, an emperor of Rome. Written to himself, to understand himself better and become a better leader. A journal of very deep and philisophical reflections, the wisdom refers to topics like being kind-natured and pious, living simple and the interconnectedness of everything. Some of the writings reflect a very buddist or hindu philosophy and others a very self-reflective and cosmic underpinning.
