Read by Clive Darrington

Written by a Roman emperor at the height of his power, Meditations is one of the most profound and enduring works of philosophy ever composed. In this series of deeply personal reflections, Marcus Aurelius - the last of the Five Good Emperors - examines the nature of virtue, resilience, mortality, and the importance of living in accordance with reason. Originally intended as private notes to himself, Meditations offers timeless insights into Stoic philosophy and the challenges of ethical leadership. With clarity, humility, and strength, Aurelius contemplates the impermanence of life, the futility of anger, and the power of self-discipline. This unabridged audiobook draws from public domain translations of Meditations, presenting Aurelius's wisdom in accessible language while preserving the spiritual gravity and moral purpose that have inspired readers for centuries. Essential listening for anyone seeking inner peace, strength, and a guide for living well in a chaotic world
