Today's podcast corresponds to Marcus Aurelius' 'Meditations,' a collection of personal reflections written by the Roman emperor. The excerpts present Stoic principles on how to live a virtuous life in harmony with nature. Themes such as the acceptance of fate, the importance of reason and justice, and detachment from material things and the opinions of others are explored. Aurelius offers practical advice for maintaining serenity in the face of adversity and focusing on duty and the common good. This program is aimed at our English-speaking audience. We look forward to your comments and visits.
