Meditations

As someone who has been a voracious reader and lifetime learner for more than 7 decades my passions have ranged from the sciences to the esoteric, from the great ancient literature to the philosophic classics and beyond. My Interest in great minds has led me from the Greek philosophers Plato, and Aristotle to one of the most famous and enduring thinkers and philosophers in the history of our civilizations Marcus Aurelius.This is why when I saw this 208-page book while browsing on Amazon (Meditations by Marcus Aurelius) I decided to purchase it even though I had read this book more than 40 years ago. This book is organized into twelve parts dealing with a wide range of topics. In the past, I recall having some trouble understanding some of his commentary about life, death and so many other issues; however, I really enjoyed rereading the thoughts of this great thinker.If you love philosophy and ideas of great ancient masters this is a gook you might want to consider reading. I loved it.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Never trust a politician: A critical essay on politics and politicians).

Absolutely love this. Helps me everyday before meditating.

Gifted to my son & he loved it; he reads a bit of wisdom each day, but from a different version (I inadvertently sent 2 different bookss).

Book was quick shipped and arrived timely.

There are so many available translations, done in many "styles." This iteration is quite well done.

Great read!

Really enjoying the insights and life lessons in this book.

Always a great book, but in my opinion, the Penguin translation is a lot easier to understand than this version.
