About this product

Product Information

Nearly two thousand years after it was written, Meditations remains profoundly relevant for anyone seeking to lead a meaningful life. Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. 161-180). A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus's insights and advice-on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others-have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago. In Gregory Hays's new translation-the first in thirty-five years-Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcus's insights been so directly and powerfully presented. With an Introduction that outlines Marcus's life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the work's ongoing influence, this edition makes it possible to fully rediscover the thoughts of one of the most enlightened and intelligent leaders of any era.

    Essential Life Reading

    Everyone should keep a copy at bedside. Makes a phenomenal gift for anyone- Graduation, Father’s Day, Birthday. Gave it to my 89 year Father whose mind is still sharp — he can’t put it down — he peruses it daily and talks about the richness of thought and wisdom every time I call him on the phone.

  • Words to live your life by.

    Lots of insightful advice on how to live your life. What he had to say 1,900 years ago still resonants loud & clear to any thinking person. Every country should pray to have a philosopher king like this wise man -- especially our country with our irrational, unbalanced & divisive leader.
