Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations has truly changed my life for the better, setting me on a path of self-improvement

[wadeharris]

This book has actually saved my life and given me a different perspective on things. It has taught me discipline, self control, and how to approach your fears. I remember I went to Italy a few years ago and saw a statue of him and under my breath said thank you.

Thank you! I picked up a copy last week and began the reading journey. Immediately I learned something valuable about avoiding the teaching of sophists. I realized much of my university courses were trying to teach us what to think instead of thinking critically and with purpose.

This book changed my life profoundly. It is a gift to humanity that I think Marcus would be embarrassed about.

Thank you, Ryan, your daily emails inspire me to be a better person. Stoicism is like learning how to play a musical instrument, you just gotta keep at it ❤

another must read book is 'The Philosophy of Epicurus', Dover Thrift absolute gem, the man was a masterful thinker and he's at least equal to the Stoics. His masterful argument, 'Death is nothing to us', cannot be ignored by anyone.

One of the greatest books ever written.

"Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius is a collection of personal writings by the Roman Emperor that reflect his Stoic philosophy. Written as a series of private notes, the book explores themes of virtue, resilience, and rationality. Aurelius emphasizes the importance of inner peace, self-discipline, and accepting things beyond our control. He advocates for focusing on the present moment and maintaining a sense of duty and integrity. The work serves as a guide for personal growth and ethical living, encouraging readers to cultivate a calm and rational mindset amidst life's challenges.

I read it last month and I am read it again. Love the book and I find it very similar to the Dhammapada in Buddhism. ❤❤❤❤

Great meditation to start the day. I carry Marcus Aurelius' Meditations both in my car and in my home library- it's a great wholistic lens to view modern life in.

It was a funny thing that this book "Meditations" appeared in the Netflix series "Black Sails", Season 2, Episode 5. The series takes place during the Golden Age of Piracy. I noticed a book was placed on a table in this scene but I did not bother to look at the title at first until now.

Excellent video as always. Maybe you should cover Antoninus Pius as well. I think he doesn't get enough credit in the stoic cirlce.

[HeadsUpTV]

Imagine writing a diary and then it becomes the world's most admired book. Marcus wouldn't have seen that coming.

Donald Robertson "How to think like a Roman Emperor" is also a good book to read.

[ryanmacneill]

Have 3 different versions of meditations on my audible

[NChild]

I got 4 different translations. Gregory Hays, Penguin Classics, Annoted Edition, and I'm currently reading the Norvegian one with the original title "To myself".

Ryan, can you kindly put the link of where you bought that specific version of Meditations book?
