About this listen

How to live a better life. One of the most important books on Western philosophy - a powerful and inspirational guide for the complicated world of today.

Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Filled with wisdom, practical guidance and profound understanding of human behaviour, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus' insights and advice - on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others - have made the Meditations required listening for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary listeners have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style.

In Gregory Hays' translation, Marcus' thoughts speak with a new immediacy. Never before have Marcus' insights been so directly and powerfully presented.

The reading is very robotic, chopped up in parts. It’s unfortunate because this particular translation is good, it’s just the narrator doesn’t flow at all. I give it four stars only because there is no other choice to get this translation, and this translation is valuable.

A must read. Twice. Reading it once is not enough. Eager to read it in my native language as well.

Mind blowing

As a collection of thoughts, it is hard to make sense of so many different ideas. choose to read the physical book.

Read it, don't listen to it.
