Meditations - A New Translation

Marcus Aurelius, Classics HQ

Sinossi

Nearly two thousand years after it was written, Meditations remains profoundly relevant for anyone seeking to lead a meaningful life.

Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. 161–180). A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus's insights and advice—on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others—have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago.

With an Introduction that outlines Marcus's life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the work'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.

Foundations of Success - The...

Chukwu Christian Onyemaechi

What drives a person to rise from ordinary beginnings and reach extraordinary heights? What gives someone the strength to keep moving forward when everything seems to fall apart?
In Foundations of Success: The Story of Donald Trump’s Humble Beginnings, I explore these questions through the lens of one of the most fascinating and controversial figures of our time. I take you beyond the headlines to reveal the mindset, resilience, and clarity of purpose that powered Donald Trump’s remarkable journey.
For me, this book isn’t about fame or fortune; it’s about principles. It’s about the courage to begin again after failure, the discipline to stay focused amid chaos, and the belief that success is built from within. These are timeless truths that anyone can apply to their own life, no matter where they start.
This audiobook, the first in a five-part series, uncovers the foundations that sustain success: vision, persistence, and inner strength. Through every chapter, I share insights meant to awaken your determination, sharpen your focus, and help you build the resilience needed to achieve your dreams.
Because success doesn’t come to those who wait; it begins with those who choose to start. If you’d like to read or own the hardcover version, it’s available online under the same title. You can also check online or contact me directly to get a copy.
The foundation you lay today determines the success you achieve tomorrow. Start listening now—because the best time to take action is right now.

They include a second-generation ice cream shop owner on how to manage price increases; a NYC restaurant owner on how to hire and manage employees; a Black female roofer on how to break through in a male dominated industry; a dentist who is transitioning out of his business; and a stylist who quit her corporate job to pursue her passion.
