Meditations: A New Translation

'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius is a timeless gem. Rich, practical, wise, very useful and amazing. The New Translation by Gregory Hays is truly amazing. He has done an outstanding job. His introduction is great. The hardcopy is great. I really love it, it's there on my bed side. Highly recommend it.

Meditations. What a book. Every page from Marcus Aurelius feels timeless and deeply personal. I started reading it for wisdom and ended up changing how I think, act, and live.

A philosophical treatise with a very good introduction to how to go about reading the book and the essence of the book

This serves as a way of getting people to reflect on their thoughts. This is by no means a philosophy masterpiece, but an excellent example of a person thinking through things deeply. There are important lessons one can learn from this book such as acceptance, tolerance and living a life that is moral (although virtue ethical theory is stressed here, which is understandable considering the time in which this was recorded). Will recommend anyone who has an inclination towards philosophy to read this book.

If you have found yourself on this page for a book like this if you think, you don't need a review. Because you are in charge of your perceptions. Buy this book and release yourself from the chaos that may have been holding you down. All the best to the readers!

Delivered in great condition, fantastic book to understand yourself

I read it and I love it. Meditations is powerful because it is a journal written in real life by an emperor. It is powerful also because the philosophy is simple yet impactful.

Repetitive concepts applied to varied contexts. Making notes is the only way to summarize. Not for somebody waiting for real life examples.
