The Emperor’s Manual

The best lessons from the Emperor, Marcus Aurelius- carefully collected, organized, and easily applicable to your daily life.

Excerpt,

Marcus Aurelius faced wars, plagues, betrayal, and exhaustion on the throne of Rome.

One would be tempted to think his secret weapon to enduring it all was his status or position. But it was his mind. In his private notes- what we now call Meditations- he trained himself to endure hardship, stay disciplined, find beauty and joy, and live with dignity.

I’ve read those pages more than eighty times now. And from that lifetime of study, I’ve pulled together the best passages- arranged into 11 themes that cover every fight we face in life:

I. Control

Get freedom, power and self-mastery when you focus on what’s within our control.

II. Time

Get a sense of urgency. Stop waiting for the “right moment.” Act now, while you still can.

III. Focus & Work

Cut distractions. Do what matters with seriousness, as if it’s your last task.

IV. Difficult People

Meet arrogance, rudeness, envy, and betrayal from people with grace, without losing yourself.

V. Virtue & Rationality

Discover the sovereignty of your mind. Guard it, and let justice, courage, and wisdom guide you.

VI. Death & Happiness

Live rightly and fully, now. Death overshadows every moment.

VII. Endurance & Pain

Be the rock the waves of pain and other uncomfortable emotions crash against.

VIII. Amor Fati

Learn to love your fate. Every obstacle is raw material for strength.

IX. Gratitude

Train your eye to see abundance where others see lack.

X. Change

Learn to flow with, and enjoy life by accepting that nothing lasts.

XI. Nature & Beauty

Train your eyes to see the hidden elegance in age, decay, and imperfection. In the mundanity most people overlook.

I’ve lived this myself. In the operating room, in writing, and in life- I’ve leaned on Marcus’s words to stay grounded, happy, focused, and resilient. That’s why I built this. Not as another boring scholar. But as someone who uses Stoicism daily in the most demanding environments.
