Read it as an intro to stoa. Very subtle and easy to read. The simplicity fragments the ideas to so many small and agreed upon particles, and combines it back up for the grand idea. Very agreable, and a nice perspective to look into our lifes. Helped me realize how i share similar values, yet unable to comfort myself during stress with the inability to conclude. Very recommended for inner peace and also historic value. It is said that these discourses are what Aurelius read and learned from.
