The annotations of Marcus Aurelius himself... If you don't have any regards to the moral question of reading the private journal of a man who lived roughly two millenia ago (like other millions of people), than this is most definitely a great read. But don't worry, just like how grave robbing isn't immoral if the grave is older than 100 years old (the current official consensus in the US, provided that some legal requirements are met), reading someone's private journal from millenia ago certainly isn't, specially due to the fact that this wasn't any man... He was Marcus Aurelius, I'm not going to go over details, it's not like I need to, specially since you are reading reviews for this book, that is, if you are indeed still reading this, if you are... Thank you. Anyway, to the actual review: A short "book", good casual read, or else, a book you can go through in mere days (or hours, depending on your time/dedication/read speed). With that said, I do recommend that you instead, read just a little bit of it a day, and don't rush it. Take your time, digest it well, appreciate the book. These are the words, the... Meditations, of the wisest emperor of the mighty Roman Empire. His name, reverenced and respected to this day as the benign, wise ruler, an example, a legacy of the stoic philosophy. Now that I'm done praising him and stating things you already knew, proceeding to the review (don't you eye-roll on me, keep reading). The book, wasn't written as a concise piece. Again. They are annotations that Marcus Aurelius made through his meditations, so don't expect it to have a progressive continuous feel to it, another reason for you not to read it all at once or in big chunks. Take your time, enjoy the book, read it piece by piece, day by day, digest it well, ponder upon what you've read and learn. Mark the parts you felt were important so you can revisit it, this is the kind of book you'll find yourself consulting again in trying times, or times when you just need a good reread or some wisdom of the wise thinkers of old. (I swear I'll stop using the word wise, it's almost over). I highly suggest... No, I demand that you also read Seneca's letters from a stoic. It's a book that's more consistent, since it is... well... the letters written by a stoic (Seneca) (to his friend, dear Lucillius), it can also (must) be read in small, digestible portions, letter by letter, go read my review on it, it's more objective and better than thisnone, I promise. Live a good life, have a great day.

No no no no don’t west time
