Query: "A man's life is what his thoughts make of it." --Aurelius

I have two translations of this book--one by Andy Fiala, and the the other by Gregory Hays. Hays' is far superior, and comes through very clear. I found it surprising how much different translations were and would highly recommend juxtaposing different versions before making any purchase.Most of the reviews below did a wonderful job describing the book already, so I feel no need to; but will add that Marcus Aurelius was a great and virtuous Roman emperor who could of had it all but instead demonstrated the beauty in living simply with self-discipline, self-mastery, and self-control.
