Marcus Aurelius's Meditations is a wonderful guide on how to apply various principles of Stoicism, especially principles around cultivating resilience in the face of circumstances beyond one's control.

However, to read only Meditations and go on to make claims about the philosophy as a whole is a bad idea that ignores hundreds of years worth of philosophers who also contributed to Stoicism.

For those interested in a more broad treatment of Stoicism, a wonderful follow-up to Meditations is Donald J. Robertson's Stoicism and the Art of Happiness
