This book has changed my life, and has made a huge impact on my ability to handle stress. The author is a personal hero of mine, and this repository of ancient wisdom is as relevant today as ever! I have been active duty, first responder, and now a city bus driver. I use this book and the knowledge within as a calming influence.

Not at all what I expected. It was recommended in a book I read and the author said EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

I was genuinely looking forward to to this collection of thoughts for a variety of reasons. I wasn't expecting the literal translation that arrived. I suppose it's preferred for accuracy in the telling, but it would find greater popularity if some literary license were taken to the extent that it read more like a contemporary novel. The wisdom remains however and there is much to learn from one of the last "Great", Roman Emperors.

This book boggles the mind-amazing to think that it was written in 177AD. The author was a very insightful and wise, but humble person.

Marcus Aurelius --one of the great and good emperors of Rome. His commentary, thoughts, and meditations. Good inspirational reading. This issue is a rather cheap binding---that is OK. I purchased it to read --not to collect. If it falls apart in six months or so, I do not care (can not beat the price!). What is written is still great.
