One of the most famous philosophical "self-help" books by
the philosopher emperor and Caesar, Marcus Aurelius.


One measure, perhaps, of a book's worth, is its
intergenerational pliancy: do new readers acquire it and interpret it afresh down through the ages? The Meditations of
Marcus Aurelius, translated and introduced by Gregory Hays, by that standard, is very worthwhile, indeed. Hays suggests
that its most recent incarnation--as a self-help book--is not only valid, but may be close to the author's intent. The
book, which Hays calls, fondly, a "haphazard set of notes," is indicative of the role of philosophy among the
ancients in that it is "expected to provide a 'design for living.'" And it does, both aphoristically
("Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly.") and
rhetorically ("What is it in ourselves that we should prize?"). Whether these, and other entries ("Enough
of this wretched, whining monkey life.") sound life-changing or like entries in a teenager's diary is up to the
individual reader, as it should be. Hays's introduction, which sketches the life of Marcus Aurelius (emperor of Rome
A.D. 161-180) as well as the basic tenets of stoicism, is accessible and jaunty. --H. O'Billovich --This text refers to

DEscriptION
Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote his famous Meditations during his
grueling campaigns against the warmongering barbarians (A.D. 121-180). They are practical statements of ethical
behavior, undergirded by a deep religious faith. The central premise is that man's fate is chosen by the gods, who
naturally can choose better than man.

Adopted by his grandfather when his parents died young, Aurelius led a
privileged youth which included an education by several personal tutors, including his uncle, Emperor Aurelius
Antoninus, whom he would later succeed as Emperor. Marcus Aurelius was a contemplative man whose sense of duty and honor
set an example for the ages that followed. His Meditations reveal a mind possessing great stature and natural humility,
and represent the last great statement of Stoic philosophy.

REVIEWS
"Narrator Covell brings
deserved dignity to his voicing of this great and humble man. The prose is direct and unaffected, enabling even YAs to
feel a connection and continuity that span Marcus' age and ours. "

MARCUS AELIUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS
(121-180) became joint emperor in 161 with adoptive brother Lucius Verus, and ruled alone from 169.
