Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Letters from a Stoic by Seneca.
I guess you could say any book on Stoicism, really, as the others I would mention also fit that bill.
- jonathansorum 8y agoMeditations easily has my highest rate of highlighted words in relation to total book length. Seems like every page (almost) has some eternal and profound in it.

- JoshMnem 8y agoA Marcus Aurelius quote changed my life when I was a teenager. It was something like, "it is not dying that a man should fear, but a man should fear never having lived at all." From that point, I pushed myself to live -- got seriously into primitive technology and wilderness survival, traveled to many parts of the world, and did many other things that I previously wasn't able to do. I just found my old copy of Meditations in a box yesterday and plan on reading it again.
