Marcus Aurelius - Meditations: Adapted for the Contemporary Reader: 2 (The Stoic Classics Collection)

This is wisdom that is good for practising living a good life. Being the private thoughts of the Emperor this book gives a perspective that is different from other philosophers of the time.I recommend this as it is solid, natural and a good way to give yourself some foundations for being a good human, living a good life.

If ever there was a book that should be required reading on the natonal curriculum ... apart from Victor Frankl's wonderful "Man's Search for Meaning ... this is it. Life - a funny old thing. Exceptional, down to earth, no mysterious "a saviour will come ... " (he/she won't by the way) nonsense .... and the Universe won't give you everything you want if you just thnk it. You have to do something - starting with control of your perceptions and your brain. Amazing 2000 year+ old wisdom. What have the Romans ever done for us? here it is and you don't have to have an opinion about everything - Wonderful wonderful book..

Really enjoyed this book, very insightful

difficult to read, but worth the read!

Inspiring and motivating book at a good price

Always on the lookout for a book which makes me think differently and this has great potential.First thing is to understand that you don’t read this book like a normal book, you pick a paragraph, read, consider and leave., as you really need to spend time understanding the content and if you want to take on the idea or ignore it - both being appropriate based on your needs.This is where the less than stellar layout gets in the way, as each chapter is presented as a continuous set of paragraphs without any particular separation.I may have missed it, but to me the book doesn’t seem to group similar topics together. It also gives no indication of the topics covered in the sectionsThe context is good, but would be better with better formatting.

I am half way through the book right now and it is by far the most usefull book on self-discipline and has helped me a lot at being aware of my surroundings and to put my personal problems in perspective to others. Must read!

One of the most wonderful pieces of work I have ever read in my whole life. I feel a great sense of peace and tranquility just from reading it. I definately reccomend this for anyone going through a hard time, one can gain a great sense of comfort and inspiration from it's words.

Must read for every man

A friend recommended, nice read. Few short pages before bed, or after waking up.

Excelente libro!! De los mejores que he leído en mi vida y la traducción me parece adecuada, no es tan difícil de seguir como las traducciones en inglés antiguo de las versiones gratuitas

Statistically speaking, you're not a man if you don't think about the Roman Empire at least once a day. You don't need to like, ponder its economics, the hierarchical structure in the domus, or even military tactics. You could just contemplate the indoor plumbing. Or the fashions of the Roman man. Something as simple as "Wait how far out WAS the rubicon?" is enough to qualify.That said, getting this book is more likely to make you qualify as a man because you'll be thinking about the empire ALL THE TIME NOW. You're welcome.
