A philosophical book about how one of the great people in ethos and critical thinking viewed life

Nice for a gift. I learned about it from the series Leftovers and I think I will copy the protagonist in what he did. Some of the things he says stick in your mind. Aurelius is wise

A book that is not read as a narrative, but as a personal dialogue with yourself. Marcus Aurelius speaks simply about things we all experience: anxiety, anger, losses, expectations. It is impressive how a Roman emperor thinks so humanly and grounded. There is no pomp or philosophical theories; it is guidance for every day. It is not for a 'once and done' reading – you open it again and again, and each time something different strikes you inside.

One of the quietest yet most powerful books that can change the way you think.

Gospel Book. Good rendering of the translation. Good quality paper, I would perhaps prefer it to be hardcover for such a masterpiece (however, I knew what I was buying). I recommend it to everyone who wants to explore their deeper self, their existential horizon, and their encouragement to face life from a different perspective.

I will not focus on the fact that he was a strong man of his time, nor that he was a philhellene. The essence of his philosophy was the opposite of vanity and greed. His bonus is that he used the power he had correctly and was one of the five good Roman emperors. He established orphanages and hospitals. Above all, he was a philanthropist, and Stoic philosophy is an antidote, especially in today's world.

Very good book, easy to read, worth someone's time to read it, gives you a new perspective on how to handle situations in life.

A book that you will need to read and reread and underline almost the entire book for all the reasons you will discover when reading this particular book.

It is a book that you definitely need to read more than once in order to understand it better, and it is worth the effort

I have no words for this masterpiece. It was not meant to be published, it is simply the thoughts in the notebook of one of the most powerful people in history (and one of the wisest). GET IT. Study it as many times as possible, always have it on your nightstand. Utilize the wisdom within it and you will be able to pursue and keep whatever you desire. 5 stars are not enough.

Amazing book that teaches a proper way of life without going into many details. After all, it was the memoirs of one of the greatest Roman philhellenic emperors. If someone wants to start with ancient Greek philosophy, they should start with "Meditations".
