Excellent Translation, Excellent Intro & Notes

"Excellent, readable translation in modern English with extensive and clear footnotes on all kinds of contextual issues. Includes a thorough introduction to both Marcus’s life and Stoicism. Highly recommend!"

— Anonymous (5/5)

BEST FALL READ!!

"I absolutely loved this book!!! Perfect book to cozy up with for fall season❤️"

— Julie P. (5/5)

A must read for Stoic phylosophy

"This is of course a timeless classic, and well worth reading. The translation is well done and the extensive notes and annotations help you understand the text much better and add so much context."

— Edwin (5/5)

Good title. Clear on what to expect from the book

"I read one page every night before bed. I contemplate the idea before bed. This book has helped me to expand my awareness of life."

— Sara P. (5/5)

Heavy on notes/annotations

"Some of the notes are overdoing it a bit… I guess that’s good for people who are studying the text for school or university, but for somebody who’s just casually reading it you might want to opt for a cheaper, less detailed version."

— Martine (5/5)

Un livre surprenant

"Très bon livre, lecture intéressante sur un empereur du passé et ses défis"

— Benny (5/5)

Excellent read.

"Love the wisdom of the book. Now working to add this wisdom to my own life."

— Chris (5/5)
