Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed, as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe.

Recommended by Cadence Norton

If she’s not busy being the Specialist Non-Fiction and Children’s and Young Adult Boffin, you’ll find Cadence curled up with one of the four books she usually has on the go. Feel free to talk to her about ancient history, middle-grade fiction or fantasy reads!

This is a great one to start with if you're new to philosophy. Aurelius' day job was ruling Rome, so it is quite digestible and spans a lot of interesting subjects. It'll help you think, muse and perhaps meditate…
