Marcus Aurelius All Books Editorial Review
The Penguin Classics Hardcover edition of Meditations translated by Gregory Hays is a thoughtful and well-presented introduction to the spiritual exercises of Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. The book is best read by periodically revisiting its contents and offers readers insightful angles into recurring philosophical themes. The book promotes virtues of self-discipline, compassion towards others and accepting that much of the world outside one's behaviour is beyond one's control. However, the text carries internal tensions such as how the book's final status as work for the ages aligns with the author's intent of making it a personal spiritual exercise. The Meditations edition translated by Hays is fluid and incisive, making the thoughts stand out and profound. The messages in Meditations that promote virtues of tolerance, being content with one's lot and promoting a more pleasant environment could be an excellent tool for people interested in self-help books. The language and style of writing are a bit antiquated as they were originally written over 1800 years ago. The book's attractive presentation and deep insight can inspire readers to adopt philosophies heavy with moral integrity.
