Your boss doesn't care about you. Your newsfeed is lying to you. Your world is turning upside down. The question you need to ask is: What Would Marcus Do? Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor and leading Stoic philosopher. His 'Meditations' have helped people in all walks of life become more resilient, enjoy greater peace-of-mind and live their very best lives. Now, the Modern Marcus takes the original Meditations and rewrites them from a thoroughly 21st century perspective - in modern language, with modern references, for a modern audience. Importantly, the Modern Marcus is not simply another translation - it starts from a radically different place: What would Marcus write if he was writing today? The result? It's like chatting with Marcus over a flat white in your favourite coffee shop. Inside The Modern Marcus, you'll find: - An introduction covering what's changed (and what hasn't) between the original Meditations and the Modern Marcus- The full 12 books of the Meditations - rewritten in the language of today but retaining the central thinking and wisdom of the original- A guide to the five core themes you'll find throughout the Meditations and how they relate to the 21st century world we all live in- An index of the Meditations focused on the kinds of challenges many of us face today - from dealing with anger and frustration to resisting the pull of fame and facing up to our ultimate demiseThese are the Meditations for the world we live in.
