About this audiobook
Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.
Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published and the work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.

This audiobook recording has a few issues. The reader, reads as if angry and talking down to you. There are issues with the sound levels that cut off the start of sentences. Also some portions are read louder and some softer. While in general this has some good advice from many, many years past, and some holds true today. I found the book better than the audiobook version.

Great reading. The pdf is available online for free and you can read it while listening in case you don't want to miss any details. Highly recommended for the stoics out there.
