Marcus Aurelius

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

It's interesting to read the personal philosophy of a Roman Emperor and realize how little has changed in just under two thousand years. Aurelius' meditations are still highly relevant in places and display a degree of insight that reminded me of things said by my therapist to help with anxiety. There's plenty of decent advice in this book, even for those who do not intend to adopt Stoicism as their outlook on life more generally.

If you go in knowing that it’s just a compilation of an emperor’s notes turned into a book, I think it’s a great piece of philosophy and history. If you’re expecting a masterpiece of Stoicism, you’ll be let down.

There are some absolutely banging quotes in it, though.

The reader is the star of the Bedtime Story edition of the special selection of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. A very calming voice, who reads the work with a calming and soothing attitude. Excellent reading.
