If you enjoy this, you should also pick up a copy of the Davie translation of Seneca's "On the shortness of life"[1]. Seneca is another stoic, and a much better writer than Aurelius.
"Nothing concerns the busy man less than the business of living: nothing is so difficult to learn"
"There is, therefore, no ground for thinking that, because of his white hair or wrinkles, someone has lived too long: he has not lived a long time, but existed a long time"
Epictetus's "handbook"[2] is also very good. You will get a lot out of both.
