Summary
Marcus Aurelius was the Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, and during that time, he kept several collections of journals that contained personal notes, militaristic strategy, and ideas on Stoic philosophy. While unlikely that he ever intended to publicly publish these journals, there is no real official title, so most often "Meditations" is used because of his in depth writings on philosophy. These journals give an introspective look at how and why Marcus Aurelius' operated as an emperor. This informative piece of history contains twelve sections that each chronicle different parts of Aurelius' life, including his source of guidance, self-improvement tips, and his ideas on how to analyze yourself and adjust your attitude to become a better person or leader.
Alan Munro's voice is decent, but it's not really suitable for a book that you're looking to gain knowledge from. Instead, his voice would be better suited for reading bedtime stories for kids.
The narration of this audiobook is really robotic and choppy, it honestly feels like a poorly programmed voice software is reading out Aurelius' words. I must say, I'm thoroughly disappointed and considering getting rid of this one, if it's still possible, or using a credit to buy a different version. It's just really terrible.
The narrator of 'Meditations of Marcus Aurelius' sounds almost like a fancy computer program. It's possible that it's a real person who just doesn't know where to pause, but regardless, it's the first audiobook I couldn't complete because of the narration, and I've listened to hundreds.
