  • Description
    Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus was the model of what we call a philosopher-king. Though his rule was troubled by war and conflict, he remained a thoughtful and even-handed ruler. This beautiful edition brings to you a collection of his personal diary entries written over a ten-year campaign in Greece. The entries were never meant to be published; instead, they were a reminder to himself of how to remain calm, tranquil, and kind, even in the worst of situations. In them we see the emperor working out how to deal with the everyday problems all of us face: annoying co-workers, difficult family members, the expectations of others, unrealized goals and achievements, and, ultimately, happiness.This classic edition is a must-have for all!This hardbound edition comes with gilded edges, a ribbon bookmark, and beautiful endpapersWisdom to shape your life to accomplish desired goalsSuggestions towards self-improvement Empowers you to build strong interpersonal relationsThe direction to build a foundation for lasting successes

    Author Info
    • Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121 and was later adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius, whom he succeeded in 161. His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during his later years and never meant for formal publication. He died in 180, while campaigning against the barbarian tribes on Rome’s northern frontier.

    Highly recommended

    I recommend this book for those who is seeking to understand the true philosophy of life. After reading this book one can become a quite mature person and if one would be successful in practising it then surely he will be able come out of all metal and physical pain. If someone read meditation carefully is going to benefit himself a lot.

    Worth every penny

    Grabbed the deal in 75.
    The pages are good and clear print.
    The book is light weight.
    The content is priceless. Its a complete insight of life and how one can tackle the doubts of daily life.
    Grab the book when price is low or equal to what i got. You will have a good depth to your meaning of life.
    The narration, however is old english. But you need not have to have a good command over that to understand what he is trying to impart.
    Enjoy.

    Best in the market!

    Good paper quality. Medium font. Super fast delivery by flipkart. Only one complain the book wasn't properly packed. It had no bubble wrap which makes the book prone to damage. Also flipkart didn't provide any bookmark. Otherwise everything is fine.

    Wonderful

    "Suffering pain or difficulty without complaining"
    That's how google defines a stoic.
    So how can I review😂.
    Still a must read, highly recommended for newbies.
    Meditations is one of the main sources of stoic philosophy the book talks about mortality of human life, virtues, wisdom.
    Just paper quality is poor but well I'm Aurelius' follower I'm indifferent to it.

    Geeta from Greece

    Excellent compilation of very useful thoughts. It is one of the best books covering principles of life.
    I am amazed to see the starking similarity of this book with principles covered in our Geeta.

    Must buy!

    This book is the series of reflection of Marcus Aurelius to himself which are now known as Meditations. He had written this in those times without any intention of publishing his work . Good book for life learning . No problem with the paper quality and the print.

    Simply awesome

    Overall review-
    A good book, which has something to teach to every person. I see myself coming back to it again and again in the future, for I wouldn't be able to absorb such a deep book in it's first read.

    Material review-
    The cover and pages are fine, a little dust on a couple pages but i do not mind. Also, the publishers gave a handy bookmark, always appreicated.

    Q:What is the level of english ??? Is it hard to read???
    A:It has old style Roman usage. That is why it lacks the flow and is hard to understand. It will be good if it is published in simple English.
