About the Authors
Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE) was a Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher. Though his reign was threatened by war and disease, he successfully held the empire together and is associated with the Golden Age of Rome. His Meditations has long been considered one of the greatest books of the era and remains a cornerstone of Western philosophical appreciation of Stoicism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) was a renowned lecturer and writer whose ideas on philosophy, religion, and literature influenced many writers, including Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman. After an undergraduate career at Harvard, he studied at Harvard Divinity School and became an ordained minister. He led the transcendentalist movement in America in the mid-nineteenth century. He is perhaps most well known for his publications Essays and Nature.
Napoleon Hill (1883–1970) was born in a one-room cabin in Pound, Virginia. He began his writing career at age thirteen as a reporter for small-town newspapers and went on to become America’s most beloved motivational author. His Think and Grow Rich is the all-time bestseller in its field, having sold millions of copies worldwide, and setting the standard for today's motivational thinking. In 1962, he established the Napoleon Hill Foundation to further his teachings about leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.
