The history of Marcus Aurelius is rich and lined with lessons learned and troubles overcome. He would lose his father at the age of three and be adopted by one of the most powerful men in Rome. He waged war, lost loved ones, owned slaves, and persecuted Christians. He would be betrayed, lied to, and immortalized. He quietly would right down his lessons learned and strive to wake up the next day and live a little better than the last. He left behind his meditations for us which have elevated him to a level of fame to surpass all the Roman emperors but Julius Caesar himself. Hope you enjoy the History of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.

Excellent video! Although Marcus Aurelius was not perfect, I think that his study of Stoicism made him a better person than he otherwise would have been, which reminds me of a great quote from Franklin's autobiography: "On the whole, though I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet as I was, by the endeavor, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been had I not attempted it."

Been binge-watching your videos. It’s cool seeing another blue-collar dude who enjoys reading about history and philosophy.

@WilliamKeating01

"In a sense, his life is our lives." Great takeaway... Thank you, Rob.

@The_Cause

Hope you enjoy the history of Marcus Aurelius. Happy to have wrapped up volume 2! Looking forward to starting volume 3 next! Let’s go!!

@physicsbutawesome

You're doing a very interesting concept on a fascinating series of books. Enjoy it very much so far, keep going!

@mikecook_author

I first read this book in my early 20’s and reread it several times. I gain something new about practical logic and reason with each visit. As an homage to Emp Marcus Aurelius work, I based my first book’s title on it - Meditations for Modern Man: wisdom from your father.

Ordering some coffee to support because of how amazing this series is.

@mohaniya15

I am glad I found these videos, we are in the same boat, making similar videos.

@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee

Great video Rob. Sounds like a stellar dude besides the lack of coffee consumption. We can’t all be perfect though.

@fjccub

how much did this set cost?

@joshportie

I would suggest ,if youre going to try to learn history, dont just accept catholic sources. Go with the historians of the period. Its not a good idea to get most of your information from people who idolize the figure.

@joshportie

Stoicism, one of the many ridiculous ideologies. Its funny because their actions prove their ideology isnt accurate but that didnt seem to bother them.
