As relevant now as when it was written, this study of adversity and how to endure, thrive and find positivity is an essential read.

Although never intended to be published, this iconic philosophical text has become a pillar of Stoic thought. Emperor Marcus Aurelius’s personal writings see him grappling to understand himself and the world around him, offering challenges, reflections and contemplations to help better know the world and his place in it. This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Stoicism, resilience and philosophy.

Part of a boldly designed series of classics, with wider margins for notes, this book is perfect for design-lovers and students alike.

“No man ought to be blamed for seeking his own good and happiness.”
