The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

“Profound and meaningful for anyone who seeks a life of purpose”

This numismatic edition of Andrew Weston's modern translation is richly annotated with living historical context to enhance your experience of the ancient philosophy text. The deeply personal thoughts in Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations reach out across the ages, resounding with truth and meaning…. an antidote to chaos now, as it was then. By reading or listening to the narrated book, you will gain valuable insight into ancient Greek and Roman philosophy through the eyes and contemplations of one man, who ruled an empire, and sought to do so wisely.

Marcus Aurelius wrote the Meditations between 170 to 180 AD while on campaign defending Roman borders from barbarian tribes and other incursions. His reflections on life, and what it takes to be a good man, have inspired thinkers, philosophers, statesmen, entrepreneurs, poets and people from all walks of life since antiquity. The timeless wisdom of stoic philosophy, born in the ancient civilizations of our past, continues to re-emerge as an invaluable guide to build unshakable resolve and resilience in the face of fate. Reading or listening to The Meditations will inspire you, and help you understand how these journals came to be some of the most influential Roman stoic philosophy books in the history of the world.

“It’s as if we were meant to follow the threads of old stories so embedded in our collective mythology and history as to be inscribed in our very genes.” - Andrew Weston

Do yourself a good deed …. connect to your civilizational heritage and soothe and strengthen your soul with stoic philosophy that has endured through the ages.
