The ideas in Meditations are timeless – what’s striking is how relevant most of the advice is today. Marcus wrote compellingly about how he managed ambition, purpose, stress, endurance, dealing with others, disappointment, and failure. The ideas are crystal clear – and as applicable to a day in the office as they were to fighting battles and governing the largest empire on Earth. Perhaps for this reason, Marcus’s words are cited by leading figures past and present as a guiding influence. Frederick the Great was said to take Meditations into battle on horseback. Theodore Roosevelt carried it around South America. It’s also been referenced by leaders from John Stuart Mill to Beatrice Webb to Wen Jiabao. More recently, Bill Clinton has said that Meditations is his favorite book, while bestselling author and coach Tim Ferriss regards it as his ‘operating system’. In this box, we’re offering an emperor’s guide to leadership – of both yourself, and others.
