Marcus Aurelius is enormously popular today, even though he lived nearly 2000 years ago. Quotes from his famous Meditations are ubiquitous. It is now the Bible of stoicism. In this episode I take a look, with the help of classical scholar and author, Lindsay Powell, at how Marcus Aurelius was perceived in his time, how his private notes to self survived the dark ages and wound up as a best selling book today, and why his wisdom is so embraced still.
