Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor

"This biography of Marcus Aurelius, a central figure in Stoicism, is an expected read for someone exploring the philosophy, aligning with Ryan Holiday's work on ancient wisdom for modern life."

"In another Yale series, Ancient Lives , there’s a new biography of the 2nd-century Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius , whose book, Meditations, is often recommended for those interested in the ancient philosophy of Stoicism . It’s by Donald Robertson, a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist and a firm believer that Stoicism has much to teach us in our daily lives."
