'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius - The Complete 12 Books on Stoicism in Today's Language
Рет қаралды 1,038,967
Күн бұрынDelve deep into the mind of one of ancient Rome's greatest emperors, Marcus Aurelius, with this modernized version of his rich text, 'Meditations.' In this reflective journey, we unravel the Stoic philosophy deeply ingrained in the Emperor's personal contemplations, transforming ancient thought into a beacon for contemporary souls.
'Meditations' is believed to have originally been Marcus Aurelius's personal journal, a space where he documented his philosophical reflections and observations guided by stoic principles. It was not intended for public eyes; it was a tool of self-reflection, a way for the emperor to reinforce and revisit the stoic principles that guided his leadership and personal growth.
Despite the repetitive nature of the work, owing to its background as a personal diary, it holds priceless nuggets of wisdom that resonate profoundly, even today. Through its introspective lens, Marcus Aurelius offers timeless advice on coping with life's challenges, grounding oneself through rationality, and aspiring towards virtuous living.
Whether you approach it as a historical lens into ancient Rome and Stoic philosophy or a meditative guide to navigating modern life's complex terrains, 'Meditations' holds something special for everyone. While this modernized version preserves the raw, honest, and thoughtful essence of the original work, it makes the text more accessible, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary life.

Friends! Many of you have been asking for a printed version, so I took your feedback to heart. I'm thrilled to announce that the book is now available: www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2J9FW7R Just like the video, this isn't just an ancient text dusted off the shelf. I've kept it crisp and clear, polishing the text a bit and cutting down on the "bro speak" without compromising the contemporary language that made the video so popular. Whether you're already deeply into Stoicism or just curious, this book is your gateway to exploring timeless Stoic wisdom-perfect for anyone seeking peace in our chaotic world.

Thank you for this, I've got a new born daughter so I am strapped for reading time and I've been meaning to get round to reading this for a lot longer than I really should

Congratulations on the new addition to your family! The first few months are always hard work, but very soon you will be reading books together ❤

Congratulations! May I suggest buying a diary or simple notebook and jot down notes / thoughts for her when she is older. I have one for each child & plan to give at 18th or 21st birthday or wedding.. not sure yet. I lost my mom over 10 years ago and treasure every note she ever wrote so I decided to start a diary / journal for mine. Enjoy your journey ❤

19:30 - 21:19 has been a personal test of mine recently. I was saying this to myself without having ever watched this video, so I know I'm on the right track. Keeping your core value at the forefront when dealing with ppl who have no values is exhausting, but must be persevered without giving an to the temptation to lower yourself to their level.

This video truly captures the essence of Marcus Aurelius' timeless wisdom, bringing his profound insights into the modern world with such clarity. It's a reminder that the wisdom of the Stoics continues to guide us in navigating life's challenges. As Marcus once said, "The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." This video and the Stoic philosophy it embodies are precisely the kind of uplifting company we all need in our lives. Thank you for sharing this gem! 🌟🧘♂

What you did here with this translation....just thank you. Thank you for knowing people need things like this because we are so far removed from the original language most would've just clicked off the video

One of the best quotes I heard from this video, is “acting Busy but Directionless, will hurt you a lot” one of the best quotes I’ve heated from this video!!

Thank you for this!! Stoicism is a daily practice; constantly needing reflection-I’ll be coming back to this many times in the future. I’ve tried the ‘traditional’ audio book and tried reading Meditations never making it past the first couple pages. This translation makes it so digestible. Truly appreciated, truly a gem and something this generation desperately needed! Cheers to you and the hope you’ll be giving to the folks lucky enough to come across this! May the algorithm always be in your favor. 🖤

What I find so amazing about this is that he was writing ONLY to himself. If he had any idea that others were going to read it he might not have written it or would have written in a way that didn't reflect his true feelings.
