Does anyone else find Marcus Aurelius' Meditations are like a TED Talk?
I thought he was supposed to be a great philosopher emperor but it feels like I'm reading a self-righteous self-help book.
Yeah it's literally /r9k/ the book.

It's literally a self-help book, it's Marcus' notes he wrote to help himself keep a stoic attitude. It wasn't originally intended for publication.

Stoicism is a practical philosophy, Marcus Aurelius was a stoic and you're reading his private journal. What's there to be confused about?
