Meditations is the only work of the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius. It was written in Koine Greek and consists of a series of thoughts, admonitions, and aphorisms, not for reasons of posthumous fame, but for his own self-improvement.

It is the first self-help book that appeared about 2,000 years ago. His wise practical advice is not merely theoretical; it offers us the opportunity to apply it in our daily lives: at home, at work, in our personal and social relationships.
