GOAT. Greatest of all time, no doubt.

Highly recommended. This has shaped my perspective in a way I would of never expected but am so grateful for.

Apply. Apply & watch the change

Amazing book. Great! Loved this book learned lots and highly recommend it. Make sure to really dive in and focus on remembering what he says to truly benefit your life.

Extreme imprecision and over simplification. This translation is what I might recommend to those less educated or capable of grasping the ideas from the more involved translations. Aurelius himself (within the first few pages) talks of the pride he takes in being precise with his words. To me, the extreme simplification in translation is contrary to his sentiments on language and the use of it. Be more ambitious, and get as close to the original text as possible, for falling short of this is a great disservice to yourself. If it is too sophisticated for you to read the other translations, try harder.

Minimalist translation. Too modern in places (did poodles exist back then?) but compact in speech, as if it were a scratchpad for thoughts (which it was).

Good book of ideals. Seams more of a notebook to remind oneself to stay true to their ideals rather than writing to a reader.

Unfaithful to the Ancient Greek text. Stretches with the translation almost to the point of infidelity to the original Grk. I get trying to phrase things so that they might make more sense, and that it's impossible to translate exactly one language into another, yet I'd look at the Grk and be annoyed by how many seemingly random things are added by the translator. It sounds good, but ugh. If you want a good translation steer clear of this and get the Loeb Classical Library edition. Translators who want to publish their works for money can't copy the already finely done Loeb translations so unnecessarily change things like this does. A shame really.

Great scripture. Beautiful words of wisdom. It’s a breath of fresh air. Being as old as it is, the book gives great detail on how to be more appreciative on your past, present, and future. Gives a great outlook on things and a very positive read.

Great. This is a wonderful translation. This work is something I refer to constantly for inspiration.

Life changing. Good book highly recommended

Amazing. Amazing book, very insightful. You can tell it wasn’t written to be published but how the worlds most powerful man was attempting to push himself to get better everyday.

So many gems. Broad concepts in concise verbiage. A must read.

Excellent translation. This is the finest English translation of Meditations of which I am aware, and therefore is well worth it's modest price.

A view inside his world. Tough to understand at times, but very good book. A lot of insightful views on every day situations, and they are still relative today. His acceptance of all things created a calm and understanding mind. His writings fortify those beliefs.
