After losing his father at an early age, he threw himself into the study of philosophy. The closest thing history knew to a philosopher-king, yet constant warfare and an accursed plague almost brought his empire to its knees. \"Life is warfare\", he wrote, \"and a sojourn in foreign land!\" One thing alone could save him: philosophy, the love of wisdom! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe remarkable story of Marcus Aurelius' life and philosophical journey is brought to life by philosopher and psychotherapist Donald J.
