Go right to the source

I've done enough reading and study about Stocism to get the big picture, but this audiobook takes you right to the source. It's beautifully narrated, and there is so much great stuff to absorb, I think I'll listen to this a few times over. Good stuff.

Timeless philosophy for a modern audience

I will be the first to admit that the original Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is written in antiquated language and was somewhat difficult to read which made it tough to digest especially for me as a person and student of stoicism. This edition simplifies the out-of-date language from the original text in a way that is modernized and easy to relate to. The narrator himself is relaxing to listen to and I gained valuable wisdom and insight from listening to this version. I plan on listening to it every day alongside my daily journaling practice.

Awesome take on modern wisdom

The modern translation made the ancient Stoic wisdom incredibly accessible, and I found myself reflecting on resilience and duty in a whole new light. One particularly hectic day at work, I remembered a passage on staying calm amidst chaos, and it genuinely helped me navigate the stress without losing my cool (like i normally do lol) This book is filled with timeless lessons that resonate deeply. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to gain a fresh perspective on life's challenges.
