Marcus Aurelius: How to Build an Unshakeable Mind in a Distracted World.

Marcus Aurelius: How to Build an Unshakeable Mind in a Distracted World. #Philosophy #LifeLessons #MentalStrength Your phone buzzed three times before you even started watching this. Marcus Aurelius ruled the most powerful empire on earth, survived a deadly plague, buried his own children, and was betrayed by people he trusted — and still built a mind that nothing could shake. He did it without silencing a single notification. He did it the hard way. And he left behind exactly how. In this video we decode the real mental discipline system found in Marcus Aurelius's Meditations — the private journal never meant to be published, written by a Roman Emperor at war with his own mind every single day. Based on Marcus Aurelius's real work: — Meditations, Book Two — "Confine yourself to the present" — Meditations, Book Four — "You have power over your mind" — Meditations, Book Five — The Dichotomy of Control — Meditations, Book Six — "What stands in the way becomes the way" — Meditations, Book Three — On self-respect and self-command Recommended translation: Gregory Hays, Modern Library Edition (2002) This is not motivation. This is Stoic philosophy. Real sources.
