"There's no sense in the Meditations that you're being preached at. You are looking into the mind of this extraordinary ruler of the Roman world, who's clearly very thoughtful, introverted, and slightly uncomfortable in the role that he's found himself."

Here are some questions Brown will invite you to ponder while reading Meditations:
Here are some questions Brown will invite you to ponder while reading Meditations:
- The Second Book presents the Stoic discipline of the mind and begins to explain how that can change both the way we view our lives and the way we spend our time. How might Marcus's advice here change the way you think about wasting time on things that are not meaningful?
- Do you find it difficult to live in the present? What is the value of living in the present according to Marcus in these first few books? Do you think it's realistic to do that in our future-oriented society?
