## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Had such high hopes
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 7, 2023*

The book is beautifully bound, BUT the book does not number any of the meditations. They r just separated by double spacing.Secondly there have been zero updates to the George Long translation as it is  rife with Thouest and Thys.Thirdly, unlike other entries in the Arcturus series there is zero art work.A missed opportunity. But hey the cover is nice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very fine new hardback edition of George Long's classic translation.
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2022*

Personal diary or notebook of the ancient Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius _April 26, 121 AD – March 17, 180 ADHis words see through all of the vanities of today's world. Compared to his Stoic and Socratic Meditations found in this diary of personal notations, today's so-called spiritualities just comes across as so much personal contrivance and mind candy.The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are a potent antidote to today's philosophical conjectures, social media and the digital mirage of life.In the end there is something reassuring in an unassuming way about Marcus Aurelius's diary, a sobering virtue and sense of things, a divine reality, a reason or rational essence that breaks the spell of the loves and lusts of the world.A guide, a grounding sobering wisdom, a voice true, a light, bringing discernment and circumspection, leading to some kind of freedom of the soul and the spirit. A wonderful intimate revelation of ancient Stoic and Socratic philosophy...................The translations by either George Long, or Maxwell Staniforth are very good, and to be recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Teeny Tiny font
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2022*

Teeny tiny font and low saturation [grey] font made the Aurelius wisdom more challenging than usual to imbibe.
