4 of 26+ books for 2018 “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius

I decided to add this to my blog as well. My 2018 goal to read 26 books has hit book number 4 into 2018. Even though it’s only 100 pages it takes a lot longer than I thought. Mostly because of the amount of depth in each entry. Marcus Aurelius whom most people know from the movie Gladiator is widely known as the philosopher king of Rome. His studies of Stoicism has influenced many people. Recently many business leader have found much symbolism in his words and how they relate to business. My simple take is to keep a simple life, have a good work life balance, we can only control what we can control, and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone.  I invite you to add this great book to your list as a must read for leaders.

I discuss the broad strokes of the Philosopher Emperor of Rome - Marcus Aurelius  and his personal journal
