'An ancient work of spiritual reflection which remains a powerful reminder of how we could live a more dignified life by avoiding deceit, vanity and greed' OK MAGAZINE

Few ancient works have been as influential as the MEDITATIONS of Marcus Aurelius. Filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behaviour, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus's insights and advice - on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others - have made the MEDITATIONS required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style.

In Gregory Hays's translation Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy. Never before have Marcus's insights been so directly and powerfully presented.

Mind blowing

A must read. Twice. Reading it once is not enough. Eager to read it in my native language as well.

Greatest Book to Guide your Life 🙏

Best book i have ever read , which drive my life. I have read 2 transactions of Meditations prior to this , but nothing subtler like this translation.

Staccato reading style

The reading is very robotic, chopped up in parts. It’s unfortunate because this particular translation is good, it’s just the narrator doesn’t flow at all. I give it four stars only because there is no other choice to get this translation, and this translation is valuable.

Read it, don't listen to it.

As a collection of thoughts, it is hard to make sense of so many different ideas. choose to read the physical book.
