Lots of duplicate quotes and dead air

While many of the quotes were helpful and enjoyable. There’s really closer to 400 quotes in this book. So often the exact same words from the same author is repeated in ever so slightly different way. I do not count this in different quote, but rather a different translation, nothing more. Be that as it may there were still many enjoyable ones. The narrator‘s were pretty good. It’s very soothing and relaxing. Though there pronunciation of Buddha and other terms specific to Buddhism (brahmin, Māra, Nibbāna, etc.) were not authentic to their original language. But that does not lessen the value of the quotes.

A Must Have

A must have for anyone looking for inspiration or betterment of their life! Get busy living or get busy dying!

This is the most amazing book, I listen to it daily.

I have listened to this book over and over as I feel the need to relax for being upset or just to relax in general . I love how just listing to each and every quote makes me feel more relaxed about what’s going on in my life and around me and my everyday life day . I have even got so many other listing to it as well from playing it in my car or just start playing it as they tent to start arguing. Everyone around me enjoys it as much as I do.....

Words all should hear

This is an incredible book. It is the foundation for how any man or woman ought to live. It is a must read for the education of all;especially our children.

Sagely advise never sounded so good!!!

Acres of diamonds and fields of wisdom have never been so accessible as this. The tree of knowledge is in full bloom and like a thousand tiny angels dancing on the head of a pin, this brilliantly organized ancient compendium of philosophical insight dazzles and delights the mind.

Wonderfully narrated, this title was everything I expected and more!!! From Aristotle to the Buddha, this collection of sagely advice truly stands as one of the best titles I've listened to "repeatedly" since I downloaded it a few days ago.

I'd highly recommend giving it a listen if you spend a lot time on the road as I do or even perhaps giving it as a gift to a friend.

Different and Flat Narrator for Ch13

Beware: the listed narrator, Katie Haigh, does not read this book completely. I wish she did since I enjoyed her part. Chapter 13 is read by a very dull sounding voice actor, Paul Spera. His voice just pulled me out of this entirely, he reads quotes from Aristotle in this book by the way. The other weird thing about this book is the French speaker who introduces and performs the exit for the book instead of the typical, "This is Audible" voice actor. This I can tolerate, but Paul Spera, what a flat and uninspired read on his part in my opinion. Another gripe I have is that the chapter selections do not have title information loaded and the transitions are not queued to the next chapter transitions. This causes awkward pauses throughout.

What a great voice and work ! Great investment

Some people make a great effort to speak every single word with respect. This is one of these rare cases. I listened to the 600 quotes 3 times in 2 days. Great investment !

disappointed in format

the grouping, repetition, and mundaneness of many of the tomes was boring. Better to have 600 philosophers with one really great saying each.
