Incredible how much wisdom that man possessed. Meditations is a must read for anyone. In fact, I should probably revisit it again.

Meditations is great- I come back to it again and again
Two links out in the knowledge graph:
The Inner Citadel is an academic commentary on it that provides some fascinating context about the era/language that I didn't know
The Philosophy of CBT is an awesome link between Helenistic Stoicism in general and modern cognitive behavioral therapy - again cool context, but also practically helpful (if you've ever been reading Epictetus and gone "great, but how do I do that")
