Marcus Aurelius - Meditations: Adapted for the Contemporary Reader

By: Marcus Aurelius, James Harris

Narrated by: Gregory Allen Siders

Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.

Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement.

These books have been carefully adapted into modern English form to allow for easy listening.

Enjoy!

Narrator just ok

Narrator just read rather than told the story. Phrasing seemed choppy and missed the message of the wiritings.

Nothing as it should be

The content of the book was really good and it’s very needed for all time acces to the public

Marcus, Aurelius – meditations

The first time I read meditations was in 1997. I found the book to be informative, and educational. I personally feel that every generation from baby boomers to Gen Xers to millennials should read this book. It will provide a better understanding of many things in the world and their reactions to it. It may even help change the way many things are handled.

I loved listening to this classic!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I probably would not have ever sat down to read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations in its entirety. This audio version allowed me to listen to the whole thing, and enjoy it as I did. Aurelius provides great wisdom that transcends generations.

If you could give Marcus Aurelius - Meditations a new subtitle, what would it be?

Everything I ever learned in my long life.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Great book! I was sceptical! Yet here we are.

I have listened to the other Meditations books by Marcus Aurelius and I think this is a much better version. Easy to listen to without the unnecessarily fancy language like "thy", etc., yet as hard to understand as the original translation, due to how dense the concepts being discussed are. Grab title and put your synapses to work on the stuff that is of actual value.

Thank you.

P.S. I did not receive a free copy. The purchase was well worth the money.
