Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic philosopher, and his Meditations are infused with Stoic teachings. Stoicism is a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of living in accordance with virtue and reason. Stoics believe that we should not be attached to external things, such as wealth, fame, or pleasure, because these things are beyond our control. Instead, we should focus on developing our own inner character and living in a way that is consistent with our values.

The Meditations is a deeply insightful and practical book that can offer guidance on how to deal with a wide range of challenges, from everyday annoyances to major tragedies. Marcus Aurelius's writings are full of wisdom and compassion, and they can help us to live more fulfilling and resilient lives.
