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.

Translation by George Long revised by Duncan Steen.

The writings themselves were eloquent and captivating, albeit a bit repetitive. Aurelius misses the mark on certain points, naturally, but it's worth a listen if you can allow it all to rest within its proper context.

Wonderful narration. A good experience overall.

I've listened to his several times already, the narration is perfect. Bravo. As to the content, every one should read / hear this at least once in their lives.

There couldn't be a better narration for this book

To be ruled by a person of this depth, insight, considerations, love, and appreciation of life would be the greatest honor.
How low have we fallen, and yet we consider ourselves to be advanced in every way. Our politicians act like they discovered the ultimate truth, and yet in their blissful ignorance divide us and corrupt the gullible and misguided.
How much would they learn if they bothered to read this. Never mind implement at least some of it. But instead they wallow in their own ignorance, dragging what makes us human closer and closer to animal. All as a premise of their way being the only way. And we fall for it!
How sad is it to say that ruler that lived almost two thousand years ago is as advanced compared, to our current ones, as we are compared to monkeys...
If only they could read this book and learn.

I wish...
