Marcus Aurelius Meditations: A Modern English Translation

I really like Ancient Roman history and it’s so interesting to see how this leader navigated the complexities of life. The fact it’s been written into a modern translation makes it more accessible and understandable.

This modern translation of Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations" brilliantly brings ancient Stoic wisdom to today's readers, offering profound insights into living a virtuous, resilient life. The text is not only a reflection on personal growth but also a practical guide for dealing with daily challenges. With its clear, contemporary language, this edition makes the Roman emperor's philosophical musings accessible and relevant, providing both a spiritual compass and practical advice for modern times. A truly enlightening read for anyone seeking depth and direction in their life.

This book is a great reminder to be mindful and work on personal growth. It encourages living with integrity and trying to be a little bit better every day. If you want wisdom to help with life's challenges, this modern translation of "Meditations" is definitely worth reading.

This is an excellent translation that's as easy to follow as any other I've read. For those who aren't familiar with Meditations, it's packed with wisdom from the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, written by the great philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius.This is the kind of book you can reread over and over, learning more each time. It's basically an advanced self-help book of introspective observations into the nature of reality from a holistic perspective. It allows you to overcome ordinary irrational human behaviors that contribute to mental illness, so its advice could also be considered ancient psychology. Anyone who's never read Meditations would be smart to get this book.

After watching the film the Holdovers I realized that I really needed to read Meditations. It did not disappoint. It was what I was expecting, and at the same time to think it was written so long ago with so much true advice for everyone since. This translation was clean and easy to read.

This book is a very good read. It is timely. It is relevant. What is stated a long time ago is still true. Marcus Aurelius supplies us with very timely meditations that can be used currently.
