About this listen

One of the most significant books ever written by a head of State, the Meditations are a collection of philosophical thoughts by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180 ce). Covering issues such as duty, forgiveness, brotherhood, strength in adversity and the best way to approach life and death, the Meditations have inspired thinkers, poets and politicians since their first publication more than 500 years ago. Today, the book stands as one of the great guides and companions - a cornerstone of Western thought.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Multiple Listens!

The book is so dense with good philosophical advice that it may take multiple listens for different things to resonate if you're anything like me and tune out whilst multitasking. 100% worth anyone's time whether you adopt the meditations or not.

Everyone should read this!

They should teach this at schools and be mandatory. It is a little difficult to read from start to finish and may act better as a reference book but it's lessons are invaluable...Marcus is definitely on my "who to have a beer with in Heaven" list.

Hmmmm....could this be the origin of self-help books?!

Relisten regularly.

Great philosophy. Applicable in todays life. Would recommend listening again a few times at first then once a month or more to really absorb what is being said.

A Must Listen for Everyone

It’s amazing that these were the private thoughts of an Emperor. I’d recommend listening to this more than once.
