So you idiots made fun of me for reading Meditations despite recommending it to me in the first place.

Just finished it earlier today, what should I read next, oh wise /lit/?

very interesting, its pretty obvious stuff but I needed reminding of a lot of what it is to be decent man.

I know I won't stick to all these principles but having them in mind as a constant reminder has already been useful in some of my personal habits. I am currently trying to lose weight and would just fall off due to impulsive behaviour but after reading this I have stuck to it for over a month.

Its great entry level stuff
