picked up at heathrow on the eve of my marriage in rome. fascinating to read this within the context of its time & now - was expecting some absolute hard-ass mentality internet bro type stuff (like most other stoic texts) but aurelius is shockingly even-keeled and forgiving to himself. a lot of unexpected pseudo-buddhist thought in here as well; much softer and more introspective than i had assumed it would be.
