Why read it?
1 author picked A Companion to Marcus Aurelius as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a large and expensive academic book containing over thirty chapters by different authors (disclaimer: two of them are by me).
It’s perhaps not the sort of thing that a typical general reader is likely to buy. But taken together, these chapters constitute the fullest discussion of Marcus Aurelius available in English, and most questions that people are likely to have about Marcus or his philosophy are probably answered somewhere in its five hundred-plus pages.
From John's list on Marcus Aurelius and his desire to live a good life.
