Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - SUMMARIZED

This is my own summary of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
I’ve taken nearly every point he made, reordered and then summarised them. If you're new to the book this provides a good idea of what he says in a much shorter, easier to understand form. I've done my best not to add anything myself except for where I'm explaining his point.

Jocko’s take on (11) “Good”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdTMDpizis8
It’s amazing to me that while Jocko has probably read Meditations, he likely didn’t take “Good” directly from it, but has simply arrived at an identical thought himself nearly 2000 years later
