This review is from: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Spiritual Teachings and Reflections (Sacred Wisdom) (Hardcover)
"Time is like a river of passing events and strong is its current. No sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept away and another takes its place and this too will be swept away." I read that many years ago and wanted to read and know more about the man who wrote it. Everyone should read his meditations. He never wrote them for publishing purposes. He only wrote them for himself...his thoughts. They are very profound and wise and timeless. I recommend this book highly.

This review is from: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Spiritual Teachings and Reflections (Sacred Wisdom) (Hardcover)
Of all the things I have bought on Amazon and wrote a review for, this book is probably the one thing I don't need to comment on. If you are of the mind to order it in the first place then you probably know it is a timeless collection of one of the best classical philosophers there is. If for some reason you haven't a clue what to expect, then I say don't hesitate to buy it. It's a handsome and quite sturdy little book that makes an easy traveling companion. It even has a built-in book mark ribbon. I like reading it before I think-through vague or complex problems. It puts you in a calm, reflective mood and brings clarity to your thought.

A book to keep nearby,
By Clem (Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Spiritual Teachings and Reflections (Sacred Wisdom) (Hardcover)
The wisdom and down to earth common sense of Marcus Aurelius as recorded in these books is worth returning to again and again. Of all the translations of the Meditations I've encountered, I found this particular translation offered by Watkins to be the one I find easiest to relate to and put into "shoe leather" as I walk thru my daily life.
