Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations has truly changed my life for the better, setting me on a path of self-improvement

@dhickey5919 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! I picked up a copy last week and began the reading journey. Immediately I learned something valuable about avoiding the teaching of sophists. I realized much of my university courses were trying to teach us what to think instead of thinking critically and with purpose.

Thank you, Ryan, your daily emails inspire me to be a better person. Stoicism is like learning how to play a musical instrument, you just gotta keep at it ❤

This book changed my life profoundly. It is a gift to humanity that I think Marcus would be embarrassed about.

This book has actually saved my life and given me a different perspective on things. It has taught me discipline, self control, and how to approach your fears. I remember I went to Italy a few years ago and saw a statue of him and under my breath said thank you.

This book should be a necessary read amongst all high school and college students.

another must read book is 'The Philosophy of Epicurus', Dover Thrift Edition.....an absolute gem, the man was a masterful thinker and he's at least equal to the Stoics. His masterful argument, 'Death is nothing to us', cannot be ignored by anyone.

It was a funny thing that this book "Meditations" appeared in the Netflix series "Black Sails", Season 2, Episode 5. The series takes place during the Golden Age of Piracy. I noticed a book was placed on a table in this scene but I did not bother to look at the title at first until now.

Great meditation to start the day. I carry Marcus Aurelius' Meditations both in my car and in my home library- it's a great wholistic lens to view modern life in.

@MarkEmperor Ай бұрын

I carry the Meditations every where I go. Every time I open a page, it gives me a good rub to the brain and brings me back to living my life in accordance to the Emperor's Wisdom. Praise Marcus!!!

Excellent video as always. Maybe you should cover Antoninus Pius as well. I think he doesn't get enough credit in the stoic cirlce.

Happened to me because I picked up the George Long translation, was very outdated, from the 1800s. Got about 8 pages in. The Gregory Hays translation was a huge change and I’m almost done reading it. Much easier read with modern language

Keep watching Ryan's video he explains it pretty well. It's not a book written for the reader, it was a book written for himself. It's a diary. You have to frame it in that and gather lessons in that manner.

Also worth reading Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021, 2022 and 2023 by Ed Dowd. 1.1 million US citizens dying suddenly peaking Sept 2022 - CDC stumped, but Stoics know the only variable introduced to the US population was COVID booster shots. 2 months after their boosters from VA Clinic, lost my dad and my friend who were both Vets: Korean and Vietnam respectively. I will continue to practice Stoicism to my abilities, but it is challenging - just like we were told in Meditations.
