Sure! Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a series of personal writings by the Roman Emperor, reflecting his Stoic philosophy. It's not actually a book on meditation in the modern sense of the word, as in mindfulness or contemplative practices. It's more about mental discipline than about meditation techniques.
It’s a great question. It seemed like he wanted to ask you questions a lot so maybe you could start with a reverse interview and see where it takes you. It would also be interesting to hear if there are places you disagree on in terms of creativity.
Fun fact! I moved on Dec 24th and found some list boxes. One I opened today has the original copy of Gates of Fire I bought decades ago!
thank you big!
Hi Justin, you mentioned a book on meditation you read on a regular basis. Which one is that? Thanks!

Another incredible episode! Hope you end up doing a part 2!
Thanks! We definitely are. I want to get questions from our listeners to use in Part 2. What would you like me to ask or like us to discuss?
