Marcus Aurelius' Meditations for Modern Life

NEW! Join the shows Patreon page for bonus episodes and exclusive opportunities and content!http://www.patreon.com/stoicismformodernlifeThe Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries. Whilst many of his reflections and ways to live life were based on the teachings of earlier philosophers from the Socratics to the early Stoics, Marcus Aurelius strove to live his life by the principles of his philosophy and in his Meditations articulated those views in a way that remains one of the greatest books of wisdom to have graced the Earth.

So happy to have found this!

I recently found Adam’s podcast by chance and I’m so thankful I did. I’ve struggled to incorporate morning meditation or reflection into my hectic routine for so long but these bite size pieces have made it so easy and enjoyable. I first read the chapter in my copy of Mediations and then listen to the corresponding chapter by Adam. Hearing two different translations actually help me to understand the intent better and, of course, hearing the way he applies the ideas to modern life in ways I had not thought of is perfect! Can’t wait to check out Adam’s other works. Please keep your brilliant content coming!

Evening routine

This has been a great bite size entry into the work of a man I’ve long wanted to know more about. I really enjoy listening to the passage and then interpretation before bed. It’s fantastic food for thought in small portions.

My morning meditation

Just finished episode 12 as it’s become part of my morning ritual, listening through this series finally hearing a great translation and modern interpretation of meditations. Adam does an outstanding job of providing examples and breaking down complexities that otherwise would go unnoticed. Keep spreading the wisdom Adam, you are greatly appreciated around the world.

I’ve read the meditations before but this podcast will help you better digest each passage and appreciate them, well, in the context of modern life.
