What Stands Out
Детали за производот
- NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Timeless insights into what it takes to lead a meaningful life--still profoundly relevant nearly two thousand years later. Now featuring a brand-new foreword from Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Obstacle Is the Way ! Meditations offers a glimpse into Marcus Aurelius's mind, his habits, and his approach to life. . . . I think any reader would find something useful to take away from it.--James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits It is unbelievable to see how the emperor's words have stood the test of time. . . . Read a page or two anytime you feel like the world is too much.--Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Wall Street Journal Your ability to control your thoughts--treat it with respect. It's all that protects your mind from false perceptions--false to your nature, and that of all rational beings. A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, Marcus Aurelius's Meditations remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. With bite-size insights and advice on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others, Meditations has become required reading not only for statesmen and philosophers alike, but also for generations of readers who responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. In Gregory Hays's translation--the first in nearly four decades--Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcus's insights been so directly and powerfully presented. With an Introduction that outlines Marcus's life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the work's ongoing influence, this edition makes it possible to fully rediscover the thoughts of one of the most enlightened and intelligent leaders of any era.

Marcus Aurelius All Books Editorial Review
The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, as translated by Gregory Hays in the 2003 Modern Library edition, offers readers a glimpse into the private spiritual exercises of the Roman Emperor. Hays' introduction provides helpful context and insight into the philosophies that influenced Marcus Aurelius' thinking. The translation itself is fluid and incisive, bringing the thoughts to life. The Meditations delve into themes of transience, self-discipline, and compassion towards others, with Marcus Aurelius offering new angles and insights that add depth to the work. However, there are two striking tensions within the Meditations. The first is the gap between the author's intent and the book's acquired status, as Marcus Aurelius Constantly suggests that anyone can follow his advice and achieve freedom, despite his privileged position. The second tension is the contradiction between living in the present and being strategic, which gives the Meditations a realistic and pragmatic feel. Despite these tensions, the book remains a valuable read, even 1940 years after it was written. Overall, the Meditations offers a positive message that promotes virtues such as tolerance and contentment. However, some readers may find the book repetitive, and the antiquated style of the translation may make it difficult to concentrate on. Recommended for those with an interest in philosophy, the Meditations is best read by dipping into it rather than reading straight through.
