Selecting key meditations - or teachings - he offers a contemporary reinterpretation of this influential philosopher.</P><P >Dealing with topics from hope, tolerance, and self-sufficiency to change, greed and discipline; from reason, courage, and the nature of good and evil to ambition, civility, and man's position in the universe, this powerful, moving work explores the questions and offers the answers we all need to perfect our souls and better our lives today and every day.</P><P >A wondrous, illuminating work that can be revisited for years to come, The Spiritual Teachings of Marcus Aurelius offers profound wisdom for all ages, about attaining and living a more authentic life</P>
