Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise.

This is a self-help book for people who don't usually buy self-help books. Instead of offering cognitive-behavioral techniques for dealing with anger, or affirming strategies to boost self-esteem, this self-help book adapts the basic methods of psychodynamic psychotherapy to a guided course in self-exploration, highlighting the universal role of defense mechanisms in warding off emotional pain.

Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.

Summary

Though the Romans were known for having contributed much to culture and the arts, there was one facet that was unrivaled when it came to ancient civilizations: their published works. Philosophy was their forte, and it goes without saying that the meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a superb piece of philosophical writings and musings. What is interesting about this collection is that it chronicles his thoughts during the time of his reign as Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180. He did this so he could provide himself with a bit of self-reflection and meditation, and when he looked back at his writings, he could use them as a means of bettering himself not only as a leader but as a person.

The meditations are grouped into 12 books in total, and each of the books pertains to a specific time in this life. What is notable about the central message of the work is that he encouraged himself, as well as the people around him to shed their judgments of people. Indeed, it was his mission to stop himself from self-judgment, as well as developing negative perceptions of other people. He wrote about his desire to become a better man, and though he perhaps did not wish for these meditations to be published, they have since inspired many to follow his philosophy.

The narrator sounds like a robot

Information could be useful but it’s to hard to get into since it sounds like a robot while he is reading it. I’ve tried to listen to it a couple of times know and just gave up save you money and try a different narrator.

Good Performance bad translation

This translation uses a lot of archaic speech such as "thee", "thou" and "goest" making it very accessible to the modern reader. The speaker does as much as he can with it given the limitations but it is tough to follow.
