Roughly 1800 years ago, the most powerful person in the world wrote a book. Actually, back then it was only his journal, but today it is considered one of the great books of world wisdom. Known simply as Meditations, the emperor of the Roman Empire, Marcus Aurelius, for ten years wrote most mornings about the challenges he was to face and how he intended to approach them through the lens of his stoic philosophy. For generations since, millions have found a bit of themselves in the reflections of Marcus Aurelius, and being that he was the emperor of Rome make the problems all the more relatable, for if the most powerful person in the world might experience such difficulties, why not I? Join us as we present our fourth annual celebration of the philosopher king Marcus Aurelius.
