Despite the progress we have made, women are still faced with discrimination and bias in the workplace every day. The only way to prove our capabilities is to be great leaders! Women have more challenges when it comes to leadership roles with gender bias being one of the biggest hurdles. Women are either seen as dainty, proper ladies who are too quiet to lead or as the other extreme: bossy, aggressive, and unladylike.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell--and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

A "Chill Pill" for the soul.
So not being a practicing meditation person . . . yeah, back in the early '70''s I fooled around with Transcendental Meditation . . . but hey, the Beatles were into it, right?
I have to admit, going into this audio book I wasn't really sure at all that I could relate to Marcus Aurelius being that he was a Roman Emperor and notable Philosophy genius of his time, which was like centuries ago... but the guy had his share of problems, right? He needed this. But, I won't digress.
What really helped and enlightened me was the .pdf supplement that is available with the audio book. I found myself doing the exercises at each chapter end. It wasn't that I didn't understand the content in the chapters, they are told in a manner that is comprehendible - no problem, but doing the few exercises in the .pdf supplement was the icing on the cake. I got into it, I really did! And it brought me solace and internal peace at a time where I think we all need that.
The narrator was okay, but the content was exemplary. I fully recommend!!

Great audiobook
I am a collector of Stoic works and I own over 15 different editions of Meditations. This little gem is my favorite. In particular the translation is superior to any other edition I have.

Greek Philosophy That Actually Makes Sense
This book is a fantastic find for anyone wanting to dip their toes into Greek philosophy without getting lost in old, dense language.
What stands out about this book is the modern translation of this revered classic. The updated language makes the content clear and easy to follow, which is a big plus if you’re new to this kind of material.
I also appreciated the workbook exercises at the end of each chapter. They help you think about how Stoic ideas can fit into your everyday life. I’ve found myself reflecting more deeply and handling daily stresses better — which I wasn’t expecting from a philosophy book!
This book makes ancient philosophy accessible and relevant and is a great introduction to Stoicism. It’s easy to pick up, hard to put down, and even harder to forget. Highly recommend!

Great life teachings!
The first thing I really like about this book is the workbook exercises it contains. After each chapter, it really makes you think about what you listened to, and how you can apply it. A lot of the teachings gets you to look deeply within yourself and understand yourself better. It definitely challenges how you see things at the moment and teaches you how to live in the moment which is what I really liked about it.

Timeless wisdom
This new translation of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations is crisp, clear, and modern. The wisdom hasn’t aged and is just as relevant today as it was in Roman times. The exercises at the end of each chapter are particularly helpful for processing and applying the ideas to one's own life.

Such a wonderful collection of meditations!
I adore this edition of Marcus Aurelius Meditations. The narration is superb and the translation is faithful but very accessible. I was a bit unsure if I was going to use the workbook exercises, but once I started they actually helped me to apply stoic principles into my everyday life

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. This audiobook of meditative practices is based on the writings of Roman Emperor and Stoic Philosopher, Marcus Aurelius. Each chapter ends with thought provoking journalistic exercises. I found his words to be inspiring and I was amazed how his insights are still applicable today. I recommend this audiobook with steaddfast narration for anyone who enjoys history and strives to deepen their meditation.
