HEALTHY AND STRONG? EVERYTHING HANGS ON THIS.
The guy who authored these remarks was hailed as “the most beautiful figure in history” by essayist Matthew Arnold. Perhaps, but he was much more than that. Marcus Aurelius controlled the Roman Empire at its peak, untouched by the immeasurable wealth and unlimited power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. Marcus recognized the secret to living the good life in difficult and often disastrous circumstances, to finding contentment and serenity in the midst of sorrow and upheaval, and to choosing the harder right over the easier wrong without apparent concern for self-interest.
Marcus’ work is praised by historian Michael Grant as “the greatest ever published by a significant ruler,” and Josiah Bunting, superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute, deems it “the key text on character, leadership, and responsibility.” The Meditations, which were never meant for publication, contain the practical and inspirational wisdom with which this great emperor lived the life of a general, administrator, legislator, spouse, parent, and judge assailed from all sides.
The Emperor’s Handbook is a vibrant and contemporary translation of this major work of ancient literature. It brings Marcus’ words to life and demonstrates that his wisdom is as applicable now as it was in the second century. Every corporate CEO, political leader, and military commander should have this book on their desk and in their briefcase. It appeals to the soul of anybody who has ever exerted power, suffered misfortune, or hoped for a better tomorrow.
