Why This Course Exists Marcus Aurelius, emperor of Rome, kept a personal journal not for others, but to remind himself of wisdom, virtue, and strength. That journal is Meditations. This course walks through all 12 Books of Meditations in order. Each module has: 📖 Overview (context + themes) 🔑 Key themes ✍️ Reflection prompts 💬 Community activity We use Marcus’s Books I–XII (not page numbers), so no matter if you own paperback, Kindle, or audiobook, you can follow along.

This isn’t a summary, shortcut, or set of SparkNotes. It’s a guided exercise to help you live the principles of Essentialism as you move through Greg McKeown’s book. In this course, you won’t just read about choosing less but better you’ll practice it. Each module aligns with the book’s flow and includes reflection prompts, practical exercises, and action challenges designed to shift Essentialism from theory into habit.
