Description

Luxurious abridged edition of the masterpiece text by Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, is the timeless legacy left to us by the great Stoic philosopher, who was simultaneously an emperor and the most powerful man of his time.

The book that has inspired philosophers, leaders, writers, and millions of readers throughout the ages remains relevant in a time when humanity continues to seek the essence of existence and inner peace.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is the unparalleled wisdom of a Stoic philosopher's personal reflections who was also the strongest man of his time. Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD, Marcus Aurelius embraced Stoic philosophy from a young age.

As an emperor, he maintained the habit of practicing Stoicism daily, aiming to remind himself to remain humble, patient, and resilient in the difficulties of his position. He recorded his thoughts in his journal, encouraging himself to better fulfill his responsibilities as an emperor and as a human being.

Meditations were written as a personal diary and not as a work intended for publication – however, they constitute one of the most significant works of practical philosophy that continue to inspire and uplift today's person.

They offer guidance to anyone seeking continuous self-improvement and striving for mental and spiritual resilience. An especially accessible read, Meditations will become a beloved book that you will turn to regularly for inspiration in the face of life's small and large events.

    A very special book whose subject is not for everyone, the writing style, as it was written 2000 years ago, is different from what we are used to, its meaning is difficult but it is a milestone

    The author shows a certain wisdom — although, between us, writing notes to yourself and letting them become a global best-seller is a bit unstoic. He should have burned them.
    The writing is contemplative, full of inner discipline. That is, everything a stoic would wish not to have to read, because he already practices them.
    The humor is nonexistent — but that is a virtue, not a flaw.
    I give it 3/5 because perfection is for the gods, and excess for the frivolous. I am simply doing my duty.
