Jim's Review
🐛
A Roman emperor wrote a private journal nearly 2,000 years ago, and it's STILL the best self-help book ever written. Marcus Aurelius didn't write this for publication — he wrote it for himself, and that raw honesty is what makes it hit so hard. Jim reads a passage every morning with his coffee. "You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Come on. Five worms, eternal.
