I enjoyed this collection of the Roman emperor's personal journal snippets. They are short, dense, and unambiguous. It's interesting how the fundamentals of Stoical Roman ethics of Aurelius' era have so much in common with other civilizations' ethics, e.g. Zoroastrianism's good deeds from good thought. Civic duty, and aligning our conscious decisions to the Logos (divine, cosmic consciousness) is also repeatedly and well-articulated with examples. I learned a lot in a short time. 4/5 Stars.
