I recommend Meditations by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. The link I've provided is to a text version of a 19th century translation. The language and concepts (interpretation) reflect that era, so you may also want to contrast it with a fine modern translation by Gregory Hays. It is an astonishingly relevant and insightful example of private introspection by one of the few "great" Roman emporers who was respected in his own time and 2000 years later.
