Marcus Aurelius: How to Think Clearly

This is an improved version of a video I released when I first started my channel. It was the 5th video I made, so many of you may not have seen it. I only had about 100 subscribers at the time!

I wanted to re-upload it as I believe it is especially important in these testing times. I've improved the audio, removed the loud music and tweaked the animation. Enjoy!

At 17, Marcus Aurelius was adopted. It made him heir to the throne of Rome.

Born into a wealthy family, Aurelius was primarily raised in the household of his grandfather. Both his parents passed away relatively early in his life.

From the start, his defining characteristic was his pursuit of knowledge. He was drawn to philosophy, and he was particularly interested in Stoicism — a subset based on the notion that behaviors, not thoughts or words, should define virtue.

According to legend, the old Emperor Hadrian took notice of him after a brush with death, and impressed with a young Aurelius, Hadrian adopted him into his line of succession.

Aurelius upheld his duty to the state for over 20 years, through the death of Hadrian and throughout the rule of Antoninus Pius, until the day he became the Emperor of Rome.
