Marcus Aurelius · Meditations

Marcus Aurelius's Meditations (c. 161–180 CE) — the private philosophical journal of the Roman Emperor and a masterpiece of Stoicism. In modern longevity science, chronic stress and high cortisol are recognized as primary drivers of accelerated aging; Meditations offers the ultimate ancient framework for emotional regulation (情志) and stress resilience. Through building an inner citadel, radical acceptance, and cognitive reframing, it teaches how to maintain somatic and mental tranquility in a turbulent world. Twelve in-depth modules — bilingual (Chinese lectures + English teaching), with Chinese MP3 narration. (Wellness-focused; a synthesis of Stoic philosophy and modern neuroendocrinology.)
