Meditations is a series of private writings composed by Marcus Aurelius, one of Rome's greatest emperors, as he struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Written between 170 and 180 CE while on military campaigns, this work combines Stoic philosophy with personal observations on leadership, duty, mortality, and human nature. Through twelve books of intimate thoughts never intended for publication, Marcus Aurelius explores themes of self-improvement, resilience in the face of adversity, and living virtuously while accepting what cannot be changed.
In *This: Becoming Free*, Michael Gungor shares his personal journey of deconstructing his faith and transforming it into a broader spiritual understanding. Through stories, parables, philosophy, physics, and absurdity, Gungor invites readers to see their identities as illusions and find freedom in the present moment, which he refers to as 'THIS'. The book is a letter of love, encouraging readers to let go of their stories and embrace their true selves.
