To me, this is the greatest book ever written. . . . It is the definitive text on self-discipline, personal ethics, humility, self-actualization, and strength. . . . If you're going to read it, you absolutely have to go with the Gregory Hays translation.

Meditations (Paperback)
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.
