Narrator just ok

Narrator just read rather than told the story. Phrasing seemed choppy and missed the message of the wiritings.

Nothing as it should be

The content of the book was really good and it’s very needed for all time acces to the public

Marcus, Aurelius – meditations

The first time I read meditations was in 1997. I found the book to be informative, and educational. I personally feel that every generation from baby boomers to Gen Xers to millennials should read this book. It will provide a better understanding of many things in the world and their reactions to it. It may even help change the way many things are handled.

Great Meditation book

A great book to learn to be at peace with the world and with yourself.

You know only control yourself and how you react.

I wonder if he would have wrote this if he was an ordinary peasant. His meditations are written from a position of power. He speaks of harmony, but he was the most powerful person at that time.
