it was amazing

4.3
Highly recommend for adults. Life philosopy that could be appreciated best by those with "mature" life experience.

I read this collection daily, piece by piece. A very calming and instrospective philosophy can be found here which could be very valuable to anyone who finds themself in a stage of life where they are contemplating the "meaning" of life or their role in their community, world, or universe.

Of course some of the references are dated: the writings being apx 1800 years old. This doesn't take away much from the potency many of the thoughts carry.

Because this is a collection of reflections and wasn't ever meant to be prose... it can be quite repetitive. Still I think many of thoughts are unique enough, that you could try to implement them in your own life for decades, and still come back to this work to understand better the meanings of his medidations.

Highly recommend.
