A deluxe particular version of the traditional traditional written by the Roman Emperor often called “The Thinker”

Meditations is a sequence of non-public journals written by Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome from 169 to 180 AD. The final of the “5 Good Emperors,” he was essentially the most highly effective and influential man within the Western world on the time.

Aurelius’ writings give trendy readers an unprecedented look into the “religious workouts” which helped him by means of his tumultuous life and strengthened his persistence, empathy, generosity, self-knowledge and emotional well being.

    So much timeless knowledge in such a thin, beautiful book.
    Read a page or two a day. It began to change the way I look at my life. Ironically, I heard about this book in an interview I listened to with Jerry Seinfeld!

    Everybody should have a copy
    Everyone should have a copy that isn’t ridiculously overpriced or overengineered in terms of binding. It’s a nice clean copy. The pages of decent quality, but its efficient.

    Life Changing Book
    I think an older person will appreciate this book most because it was written from the perspective of an older person. It is a great companion book for someone who gets their instruction from the Bible. Meaning, it’s Stoic philosophy backs up the turn the other cheek, serve mankind and love one another theme in the Bible.
