How to Think Like a Roman Emperor
by Donald J. Robertson
The book follows Marcus Aurelius from a young noble at the court of Hadrian to his reign as emperor, pairing episodes of that life with ideas from his Meditations. Robertson then reads those ideas as a self-help method, showing how judgment shapes emotion and how small daily practices can build a steadier mind. Its value lies in the connections it draws, and readers should keep history, ancient ideas and modern interpretation distinct as they read.
