“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” Marcus Aurelius

I picked up a hard-back copy of this book at the local book shop. These writings are calming and enlightening.

It is fasciniating how the words of a person who lived and died a long time ago can have such an impact on a "modern" life. Every now and then, i try to make myself suffer when thinking of his words. It's not sufferring as in holding breath for no reason. Its suffering and taking the good, willful path over the quick and easy pleasure. Its as simple as eating something healthier or taking the stairs instead of an elevator. A quick reminder that the suffering is an option that rewards me later in a different way than the immediate pleasure.

My life changed a couple years ago, just by listening and studying stoicism. It’s the only thing that makes sense in todays world. “Spend no more time discussing what a good man is, be one”.

Im on a pursuit of happiness. Im now learning the art of stoicism and other kinds of arts/teachings to find inner peace. While im on it, i realised that there will always be yin and yang in this world. There will always be two sides of the same coin. I learnt that humans is a hero in their story be it good or bad. Dying is inevitable but living is a choice. Humans have a mind of their own and its formed by how they were taught, raised, heard, see and experience. Everybody is I and I am everybody, just different way of life of me. Always put myself onto other people shoes and never regard my self as a higher being. Always listen not hear. There always a lesson to be learnt. Be open minded and aware of my own doings as it will have an impact in myself and others. My thoughts become my words, my words become my actions, my actions become my habit, my habit becomes my attitude, my attitude becomes my future. I learnt that sometimes to have something good, it needs to be done by evil actions. The world is both fcuked up and beautiful. We are being fed by temporary happiness that it makes us forget about how strong, intelligent and willing we are. Lastly, i realised that if i can't change myself... What makes me think i can change an individual or the world. I hope everyone is having a good day or night and to always use the time wisely. Stop having the mindset "Oh, i can just do it later", it will never happen. Time is going forward faster than you might think. We live in an illusion where the word "Present" is something to be taken lightly. Past can be a day ago, a week ago, a year ago while the Future can be a day later, a week later, a year later but the Present is just a second which is NOW and it has just passed. "If you wait to be ready, you will be waiting for the rest of your lives".

Its funny how you put that quote in at in the end after you say that you are in the "pursuit" of happiness and peace. Happiness and inner solace cannot be persued as an obtainable goal because it only ensues and is something you can't persue

In the two, three years of listening to this book, on - off, it's been a grounding space for me especially after difficult periods in my life. After because during challenging moments I'm usually too deep in the pits to listen to any logic. I'm very grateful for it. I love philosophy and discovering this has been a godsend. To think that he was an emperor and a warrior most of his life and he literally spent his life facing death and betrayal and still had this mentality to basically say, don't worry so much about life, just do your best and accept that which comes - that's amazing. Amazing because in the modern world , we barely face survival struggles like they did back then. At best, it's your partner betraying you or your boss upsetting you, at worst it's death or sickness of a beloved; and yes they try us. His words really put things in perspective for me. I love many lessons in here. I love when he advises to quit praying for things but to simply be grateful of what you have and pray to be content with that; or when he says, it doesn't matter whether fearful of death or complaining of life or proud of your achievements, we will all be forgotten by the next century; the best you can do is be nice and do your best. I listen to it during my morning drives to work and I've been re-listening over time. Very poignant lessons. Grateful for this and for the audio reader . Thanks

Oh wow…! I’ve just finished listening for the first time! What a truly wonderful book!! It speaks to the hearts of any of us now coming from all different backgrounds … So very glad that I will be leaning this book more and make myself understand fully. Your calm voice made the listening time very pleasurable. Thank you so very much!

Basicly. Be happy with who you are and don't try to be something you're too small to be. When adversity comes, take it on with a smile as if it were a friend. When victory comes don't celebrate because you only got that which is given to you.

Yes, he was one of the few emperors who actually got down to things. He was a competent and practicing General and wad known as one of the five 'good' emperors. Oddly, his son was Caligula - one of the most mindlessly psychopathic people who ever lived.

Thank you so much for reuploading this. Your voice is so soothing, and this is helping me through a tough time. I appreciate this.

I read this a few years ago during a tough time of attempting to understand myself ,the world,others, and ofcourse the God/gods. I find myself returning like an Elk returning to his favorite creek. Grateful.

This has been a staple in my life for many years. Thank you for your work reading and posting this for anyone who wants to hear it. Much gratitude

This is literally the best thing youtube, I have the book but love putting this on when I go on a long journey in the car

Immaculate reading Vox Stoica. 👌 You did a phenomenal job narrating The Meditations. Your voice fits perfectly well with the theme. Thank you :)

Thank you so much for narrating this timeless book. Your voice is as soothing as the content.

"For we are made for cooperation....to act against one another than, is contrary to nature,and it is acting against one another that is to be vexed"

This never gets old. Love it. Thank you.

Amazing . I just found the holy grail.thanks a million. Your voice is from the heavens.

@@stumpedsuper2014 I was responding to michael toner saying "Sexist!". Obviously stoicism is for everyone, but I hate all those frustrated women coming out of the woodwork all the time when it comes to language. Especially all the pronoun bullshit has rustled people's feathers. Everytime this group of entitled not-doing-anything-but-be-frustrated people thinks of something new to annoy society with, they're coming closer to people not accepting their bullshit anymore. They are the minority amongst minorities, so maybe they should learn where their place in society REALLY is. (BTW: i'm a minority as well, I know what I'm talking about);

I love how this man reads!

This is at a real nice pace and easier to follow, since his works require pauses and reflection to ponder his words, well, at least for me. I like how his opening works are recognitions to his previous teachers and the knowledge they passed on to him, life lessons and acknowledgment of others It was excellent he took counsel and input from those around him. Maximus had some good teaching and word for the Emperor in Book 1, 15. I enjoy the ruins and stoneworks of once great palaces or theaters in the video. Many thanks!

Your narration has gotten me through the worst week at my job this month. Thank you!

Omg this is such a wonderful opportunity for me to grow , I am so thankful for this content .From bottom of my heart may god bless you and your family ❤️.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful words.

I am listening to this for at least an hour a day to handle my own life. It.has been huge.

I LOVE THIS BOOK THIS BOOK HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! THANK YOU!!!

I have been listening to your various readings for like a year now and I owe so much of my moral development in that time. I had felt lost and unable to find direction but have found in Seneca and Marcus meaning in my actions and the movements of life. Anyways, thanks for the content. 👍 I have really enjoyed it. 😌

Masterpiece! Thank you a thousand times emperor.

Far better audio quality and general presentation than any other version I've found so far. Subbed

Thank you for your service 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for this! I've not only downloaded the video and subscribed, but will be purchasing your Audible version in the near future. Such a wonderfully pleasant voice to narrate this work of art, can't wait to see what else you've done.

Thank you for reading this, I was trying to read it on my iPad but it was quite dense and I found my mind wandering. I like being able to fully focus on the words through audio and process it while listening. Such wisdom that was so ahead of It's time, I feel grateful to have these recourses now a days to quickly find this type of content.

Simply remarkable. A brilliant man, in any age.

Stoicism is 85 % the way to live our lives. Had people good guidance, modern posturing gurus wouldn't be necessary. Kudos for the work! Marcus Aurelius was amazingly fascinating.

Thank you for this video and thank you Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. I know this is just a KZread comment and it seems silly for me to comment this, but for me these meditations have helped me so much. I would say it’s hard to be stoic or to live stoically, but what is my simple life compared to what he faced. Yet I still find myself struggling at times to try and live by many of these principles. I strive on because there is but one way to go ever forward.

Great job well done thank you for this I appreciate listening.

Thank you for including the translation you read from. I really like reading while listening and this was invaluable!!❤
