The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. It's astonishing to get useful, relevant advice on how to conduct yourself across two millenia. I recommend the translation by Gregory Hays, which removes the academic feel of other translations, and so makes them relevant and, at least in my case, actionable.
- jonathansorum 9y agoCouldn't agree more. This book truly deserves the "timeless" epithet. A book to revisit every few years at minimum.
- kuro-kuris 9y agoFor anyone who finds Marcus Aurelius a bit dry and inhuman, Seneca's letters are a gentle and applicable way to begin a journey in Stoicism.
