What could've M. Aurelius done differently with the education of his son Commodus who turned out to be so flawed as emperor?

Highly recommend the beautiful Meditations volume that can be found at the Daily Stoic Store. Buyer beware when dealing with customer service for the store

Marcus Aurelius' life story: The rise of a philosopher king. A Roman emperor from 161 to 180 A.D., Marcus Aurelius practiced Stoicism and wrote about his own Stoic practice in his journals. Marcus’s 'Meditations' is perhaps the only document of its kind ever made. It is the private thoughts of the world’s most powerful man giving advice to himself on how to make good on the responsibilities and obligations of his position. This is an excerpt from Ryan Holiday "Lives Of The Stoics” audiobook.

Many books claim to be life-changing, Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations is a rare one that actually is. Marcus was not just a stoic philosopher but the greatest emperor of Rome. And the exciting promise of his Meditations is that you can be like him: effective, resilient, and tranquil. The stoic ideal is available to all humans. There’s just one problem, the Meditations isn’t an instruction manual that you can just apply to your life, in fact it’s not even a book. Marcus Aurelius wrote it as a personal diary containing fragments of wisdom but not his full philosophical worldview. I’ve spent the last few months studying with and interviewing the greatest stoic philosophers alive to bring you a summary of the missing philosophy behind the meditations. This is a condensed version of the education Marcus himself would have received from his imperial tutors and the key to unlocking the value of this book for your life. Timestamps: 06:10 Pursue money & power while not being corrupted 09:49 Wealth is just as dangerous as poverty 13:59 Health is not necessary for happiness 14:34 How to be happy, even while being tortured 26:17 To not suffer in the “downs” of your life, don’t get attached on the “ups” 42:48 The obstacle is the way 54:26 Marcus Idolized Diogenes (who routinely masturbated and defecated in public) 01:13:26 Why you should meditate on the death of your child
