Excerpt

Marcus Aurelius and Meditations

What is Stoicism and the Logos?

Predetermined actions and moral responsibility

Perception, action, and will

Why you are more like a boxer than a fencer

Begin each day with gratitude

Contemplation on death and perfecting your character

Remove selfish thoughts from your mind

If you have to travel the world to find yourself, you’re a fool

Treat others with real love without care for what others think

The difference between sinning out of anger vs. out of pleasure

Use your faculty of rationality to build conviction

The obstacle is the Way

Ambition vs. doing what is right always

Challenges
