NATIONAL BESTSELLER โ€ข Timeless insights into what it takes to lead a meaningful lifeโ€”still profoundly relevant nearly two thousand years later.

Now featuring a brand-new foreword from Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Obstacle Is the Way!

โ€œMeditations offers a glimpse into [Marcus Aureliusโ€™s] mind, his habits, and his approach to life. . . . I think any reader would find something useful to take away from it.โ€โ€”James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits

โ€œIt is unbelievable to see how the emperorโ€™s words have stood the test of time. . . . Read a page or two anytime you feel like the world is too much.โ€โ€”Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Wall Street Journal

Your ability to control your thoughtsโ€”treat it with respect. Itโ€™s all that protects your mind from false perceptionsโ€”false to your nature, and that of all rational beings.

A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, Marcus Aureliusโ€™s Meditations remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. With bite-size insights and advice on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others, Meditations has become required reading not only for statesmen and philosophers alike, but also for generations of readers who responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style.

In Gregory Haysโ€™s translationโ€”the first in nearly four decadesโ€”Marcusโ€™s thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcusโ€™s insights been so directly and powerfully presented.

With an Introduction that outlines Marcusโ€™s life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the workโ€™s ongoing influence, this edition makes it possible to fully rediscover the thoughts of one of the most enlightened and intelligent leaders of any era.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121 and was later adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius, whom he succeeded in 161. His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during his later years and never meant for formal publication. He died in 180, while campaigning against the barbarian tribes on Romeโ€™s northern frontier.

Gregory Hays is assistant professor of classics at the University of Virginia. He has published articles and reviews on various ancient writers and is currently completing a translation and critical study of the mythographer Fulgentius.
