In this episode, I share how reading Marcus Aurelius’ stoic classic Meditations has shaped my perspective on cultivating personal wisdom and self-reliance. I discuss key passages that call us to look within and develop an inner citadel, rather than seeking answers outside ourselves. Aurelius’ writings have taught me not to blithely accept the judgements and philosophies of others, but to hold my own counsel and live according to my deliberated values. Join me as I contemplate how Aurelius’ timeless wisdom has encouraged me to question my assumptions, identify what is truly important to me, and take responsibility for guiding my own life. If you find clarity and meaning in Marcus Aurelius’ meditations on self-mastery, this episode offers a thoughtful discussion on applying his principles to the journey of finding your own answers in a chaotic world.
