Naval Ravikant mentioned Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 10 times

Best classic book philosophy, intro, someone starting out? I love Siddhartha, Herman Hesse’s book. For someone who’s more advanced, Jiddu Krishnamurti; I like his Total Freedom book. Osho’s Great Challenge, Michael Singer’s Untethered Soul. Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.

Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius was absolutely life changing for me because it’s the personal diary of the Emperor of Rome. Here’s a guy who was probably the most powerful human being on earth at the time that he lived, and he was writing his own diary to himself, not expecting it to be published. When you open this book, you realize he had all the same issues and all the same mental struggles and he was trying to be a better person. And so right there you figure out okay, success and power don’t improve your internal state; you still have to work on that. So that class of books is very influential.

And [I] definitely [gift] Krishnamurti’s The Book of Life, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, Meditations, Marcus Aurelius. These are all fantastic books.

n the same way if you’re looking for spirituality and internal awareness, Meditations and Siddhartha are the two places I would start because they’re both very light, easy, beautiful reads. Siddhartha, even though it’s been translated from German, is almost lyrical. It reads almost like poetry. It’s a beautiful book.

I keep coming back to Meditations. It’s just such an easy book. I almost recommend everybody start there because it will change your world view on what you think success means.

@markhughes No, but recently read Tao, Gita, Aurelius, Krishnamurti, Hagakure. Evolution still has strong predictive power in my reality.
