"Judge yourself entitled to any word or action which is in accord with nature, and do not let any subsequent criticism or persuasion from anyone talk you out of it. No, if it was a good thing to do or say, do not revoke your entitlement. Those others are guided by their own minds and pursue their own impulses. Do not be distracted by any of this, but continue straight ahead, following your own nature and universal nature: these two have one and the same path."

• Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Definitely feels like Richard Osman refined the sense of humour in the second book as I've laughed out loud more often. First two are those enjoyable one day reads, but haven't read the third yet.

Also he's announced a fourth one, even though I think he had initially said there were only going to be three and so cries in book wishlist
