Book summaries
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
The book Meditations takes a look into the life of the 1st century Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. It was meant to be a personal journal and never meant to be published. The 10 chapters are random thoughts and musings – sometimes disjointed, often repetitive, but always insightful.
Manual for Living by Epictetus
A fundamental concept and perhaps the most important thing I have learned from stoicism – it's less about the actual event than the story you tell yourself of the event.
Make Your Bed by William H McRaven
Make Your Bed is a really short book that packs a punch. It is written by retired Navy Commander William H Raven. He talks through his unique experience of being a Navy SEAL and the rigorous training that he went through and how that prepared him for life.
