Reviews

Great introduction to stoic philosophy and an amazing self-help book as well

"Title says it all. If you’re looking for an accessible introduction to stoicism, this book is for you. Gregory Hays translation is very easy to understand and read, but most importantly of all the lessons of Marcus Aurelius are extremely relevant to this day."

— Pedro (5/5)

Awesome!

"Really great book with really great meditations. Something I will continue to reflect on often. Very thought provoking, worth a read!"

— David D. (5/5)

A lesson in stoicism

"A great read if you’re interested in stoicism and philosophy"

— Nicole (5/5)

I mean, its a classic if you know you know

"A must have philosophy book regardless of if you subscribe to his system"

— Gage (4/5)

Meditations on Stoic philosophy pertinent to our times.

"Marcus Aurelius was a roman emperor (161-180) and best known for his Meditations on Stoic philosophy. Each morning before I start my day I sit with a reading from the Daily Stoic which brings peace to my mind and heart. The meditations on wisdom, perseverance, and the art of living echoes the kind of reverent and peaceful life we all long for."

— Dennis P. (5/5)

A must read for all

"Even with book's content being over 2000 year old, it doesn't fail to teach readers to reflect on life and live a virtuous life with less. Being content with things they already have than longing for more, readers are able to better appreciate small gestures from those around them that they may have not had before. It teaches the reader to accept the worst and bring the most out of situations out of their control. This book is a must read for everyone, especially those who are leaders or in power."

— Arthur P. (5/5)

The current title misses the mark. It could read: Avoiding Hardship & Pain through Rational Thinking or Reason Controls Everything

"The book was a gift to me from a friend who had no idea I would find these meditations as brilliant and inspiring as I did. The author was unknown to me as were his guides to training your mind to thing logically. It's a book I take off the shelf periodically to roam through, reconnect, memorize and thoroughly enjoy. My interest and attention surprised me (a reader usually of Can Lit status)."

— BBSackett (4/5)

A must read

"This is a philosophical treatise that everyone should consider reading. Although Aurelius never intended for these entries to be published, studied, and read by the public, his work is timeless, engaging, and more relevant than ever."

— StoicTeacher (5/5)

Modern translation of ancient wisdom.

"Easy to read, easy to understand. Humans have not changed much over two millennia."

— Eric (5/5)

The Perfect Gift

"I got this gift for my boyfriend who although doesn’t read very much was very excited to receive this book."

— Nicole (5/5)

“Here, for our age, is [Marcus’s] great work presented in its entirety, strongly introduced and freshly, elegantly translated.” —Robert Fagles
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD). He was a Roman emperor who ruled from 161 AD to 180 AD and is known for his Stoic philosophy and his book Meditations which is a collection of his personal reflections on life and his philosophy. He was educated in philosophy, rhetoric, and literature by some of the best teachers of his time including the famous Fronto. The writings of Epictetus, a famous Stoic philosopher greatly influenced him. His main ideology of life was to live a virtuous life and he emphasized the importance of reason, self-discipline, and moral responsibility.
