This edition breathes new life into the profound writings of one of history's greatest minds, making the timeless Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius accessible and engaging for today's readers.

I was captivated by the clarity and relevance of the text. The modern translation is meticulous, retaining the essence of Aurelius's reflections while making them relatable and easily understandable. This edition truly bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern life, offering powerful insights on resilience, duty, and the human experience.

It sets the stage beautifully, enhancing the reader's understanding and appreciation of the meditations that follow. Additionally, the inclusion of a detailed biography and historical context about Marcus Aurelius adds a rich layer of depth, allowing readers to grasp the significance of his writings fully.

I've done enough reading and study about Stocism to get the big picture, but this audiobook takes you right to the source. It's beautifully narrated, and there is so much great stuff to absorb, I think I'll listen to this a few times over. Good stuff.

I will be the first to admit that the original Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is written in antiquated language and was somewhat difficult to read which made it tough to digest especially for me as a person and student of stoicism. This edition simplifies the out-of-date language from the original text in a way that is modernized and easy to relate to. The narrator himself is relaxing to listen to and I gained valuable wisdom and insight from listening to this version. I plan on listening to it every day alongside my daily journaling practice.

I recently listened to this audiobook and it's a fantastic update to Marcus Aurelius' classic. The modern translation makes his Stoic reflections on duty, resilience, and life super relatable and easy to understand. The new introduction and historical context add great insights too. If you're into Stoicism or philosophy, this book is a must-buy. It's like getting timeless advice for today's world. Highly recommended!

The modern translation made the ancient Stoic wisdom incredibly accessible, and I found myself reflecting on resilience and duty in a whole new light. One particularly hectic day at work, I remembered a passage on staying calm amidst chaos, and it genuinely helped me navigate the stress without losing my cool (like i normally do lol) This book is filled with timeless lessons that resonate deeply. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to gain a fresh perspective on life's challenges.

If you’re a fan of stoic philosophy, the writings of Marcus Aurelius in Meditations are some of the best. It’s a collection of this Roman Emperors life wisdom. It’s interesting to hear how relevant it still is despite having been written two thousand years ago.
