One of the greatest books ever written 

Not me, saw it coming

I was yelling the title since second 2

Gotta train your stoicism 😂

@@DB-od5bx I laugh *drsperately* in Chinese😂

哈哈哈哈哈哈啊哈哈

😂 I was getting mein kampf vibes too.. maybe there's something wrong with us..

I was thinking it would be a religious book

Auf der heise

I lit feel it 😂😂

Got mit uns @@matheenarif8645

lol

Bro that made me laugh so hard

😂🤣 yes !!!

😂

i think you just mean attentive

Or just fast forward…

Or just finding Ryan's voice so calming that your nerves go from hyper content consumer to just hearing him out. Maybe that's just me.

​@@unoriginalk2665have the patients of a saint

Homie it was like 20 seconds chill out. Y'all acting like he made you wait years or sum

You can now literally skip the whole part look down on the scree the red line over there Just drag it to the last part . It saves lot of time.

@@prajwal.g4687 It's a short, you can't do that...

​@@Naeinsengimnidayou can tho

​@@NaeinsengimnidaYes you can

@@degstoll how???

Very eloquently presented by him, this man is of the arts. Yet you joke at him 😢

​@@mycelia_owa 5848820 year introduction is not very eloquent

I'm really tired every american business-mindset guy treats this book as a motivational product they probably don't understand deeply, and saying it's unique and the first one in its genre, even if if it's not true (a previous stoic lesson was made by Epictetus...)

Not to mention it's 100% plagiarized

​@@fehoobarHow is it plagiarized? Explain in detail how it's plagiarized.

Bha ha ha ha J Rogan was next in my shorts.

😂😂

😂😂

😂😂

Dude plays teemo and likes stoicism, a weird combination

​@@gabrielp666It's interesting.

thank you. I was almost losing it.

😂😂😂

All the people who didn’t have the patience to get to the end are the people who need to read this the most

@@simperinghamthey need to leave the internet for a while and recalibrate their brain. It’s quite sad if they can’t maintain that attention span

Thenks🗿

squaring my nuts.

Man.. idk

That's not even a summary. That's a simple life lesson. Meditations has five themed and goes into depth with explaining them and places a strong emphasis on pursuing wisdom and virtue as the main goals of life. You need to read the whole book and not just read summaries of it.

@@cxarhomell5867 i have read the book, and that is my summary, made as short as i possibly could.

😂

My mind wasn’t going so deep. Goodnight moon

I genuinely thought he was going to reveal mein kampf

😂😂😂😂😂

Dude I read my mind!

And somebody is getting rich by printing his diary 😂

He was one of the greatest Roman emperors to ever exist tho

I honestly wonder how many leaders between then and now who’ve either read Meditations or had heard the story of who wrote it and told their closest advisor to burn their diary immediately after they die specifically because of that fear.

​@@brokeneyes6615 funny enough Marcus Aurelius said repeateadly that praying about posthumous glory was pointless... And now we study him

​@@pascualdidier203it happens quite often that someone who has done some great things strongly does not believe in one thing and their fans/followers do that same thing using their name

You actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

​@@JLG35Xnp

Calm down bro, that book it's not gonna hurt you.

This is the only comment I clicked on

You're not the only one. The pointy ends were making it painful for me watch it.

Pick up The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, thank me later

Is the same book of marcus aurelius with the name of " the mediations of the emperor marcus aurelius"

@@joegatton6717that's crazy, I am currently reading this one

can i recommand another book also writen by the guy who founded one of the biggiest empires,( if u dont belive he is a prophet) the Quran, it talks on the same subjects and more

​@@hadgadma3589I'm Muslim also, but you're missing the point. Allah made many creations & guided many great men. Many men had great minds & abilities because Allah willed it. If you truly understood the Qur'an you wouldn't need to mention it in comparison like this.

Interesting how I was able to guess this before he said the title of the book

​@@Muhammad-sx7wrwell I mean the name of the channel is related to stoicism, and the description of the book gave it away

Thanks so much, saved me 30 seconds

David? What are you doing here? Go run!

​@@mab8105didn't get it

​@@reprocessorswatch david goggins

cringe

Whos gonna carry the boats and the logs

Anyone who watches this guy should know who the book is lol

Thank you

😂😂 Nah, and you know it. At 0:37 he shows the cover real title. 😊

where can I get the audio book please?

theres nothing wrong with it for me i mean it just looked like any other

@@cursednapmiuq2571on mobile he’s like rolling his eyes in the back of his head, so that may be what they meant.

😆

Made my day

Exactly!

I was gonna say the same thing

😂

Probably is. I'm yet to finish reading, but it sounds like something ol Marky would say

Marcus was Roman spoke Latin, but the diary was in Greek, he also thought Greek philosophy was great…. Terrible father though

​@@Cash4gold84no one's perfect 😆

Indeed.

​@@Cash4gold84Most of Roman society spoke Greek in their day to day activities. Roman was only really used in the senate.

Didn't teach you to spell "philosopher" though

Thank you 👍😊

*You’re

Was about to say... If it's the book we're fucked🗿🗿

The final solution is his greatest hit

dont start with finna trinna etc...stick to english .

Nah, he wanted that book to get published so he could make bank

​@@BellicIVDREAMS FADE AWAY AS ALL HOPE TURNS TO DUST

When I read those books, I think we were smarter back then.

@@kauffrau6764 I initially thought that, but people like him are not a good example of the general public from back then. He was much smarter than the average. That said, I don't think society today is much smarter than we were back then.

Well if you think about it in depth, than the way our civilization is being controlled by the systems, in form of a government or a king is the same as today, the method is the only thing that differs. A example of this would be the use of fear: back than it was the church, most of the people feared god and the system used that for their likings, taking money for forgiveness. Todays equivalent would be the news, they only tell you about war, killings, a new virus and boom they control what you do on a daily and deep basis. People often like to instantly nope to these kind of examples/„theories“ but again, if you think about it, every system spoke down or even killed the people who said something against it, communism for example (also just another system). So when having that in mind, why would it instantly be wrong to say that the current system couldn’t have its flaws, that it doesn’t wants us to see? And in that way we people are still kind of dumb, falling for the same traps, with which we can be controlled.

@@ixigamer1337 Agree.

We dont get smarter, we just build tools that make us seem smarter

Lemme get on the Solomon train

😂😂😂😂 Patience is something you develop constantly. Is not something you gain or loose. Just like Love, you either are open to it or not (mostly depends on external circumstances). Or like your foot pinky, you don't know it is there until you hit it on something 😅. When external factors are getting to rough for someone, that one is able to look within. Notice the breath, be aware of the breathing and do it with all your focus and slowly. Then see what happens to the anxiety caused by external world factors. We cannot control what others say or do. We can only control how we respond. Thank you ❤️🙏

I find it helps to just hit something.@@UnitateaConstiintei

Great sucessor? Commodus was a paranoid, hedonist dumbass. Nothing like his pops.

Let's be honest, he was born into high power. He was a clever bloke, but he was born with a golden spoon.

I found Aurelius much more compelling and less contradictory when compared to seneca (really the only two stoics ive read much). But hey i#m by no means an expert. what makes him mediocre in his discipline?

His son’s reign marks the fall of the Roman Empire.

Holy cow, ur right! :0)

I caught the cough and sniff too. But I don’t know why it’s there? Is it an inside joke type of thing? I’m just intrigued.

Killed me 😂

No, you didn't. Stop lying.

Really ?? A bit detailed review

@@reprocessorsread it yourself and find out

@@steve29384 bro m going through tough times, wat if it's not even worth buying it let reading it apart

Also Marcus Aurelius accepted a lot of things as blind truths in order to live happier with himself. He accepted Stoicism in his thinking because it allowed him to add meaning to his life as both an emperor and philosopher. He believed life had to have meaning because if it was meaningless, why live? He frequently references Epictetus's thoughts on the world being a cocktail of ingredients for the sake of involving multiple views but not because he believed such a thing (existentialism wasn't thought of much in that place and time). Going along with my previous point, he followed the thought that nature was rational and by acting rationally as an individual you could act with nature, this assumes that nature is rational, that everyone should act with nature, and that everyone does everything rationally (the argument for this is that every human is made up of experiences and those experiences make them think the way they do, I actually really liked his argument and it serves to show that every person is a product of their upbringing).

Christians are ritual theives. I have no sympathy for their prosecution

where does the video ever state that he was a perfect leader? Marcus Aurelius himself never makes taht statement. He accnowledges that he is a human being, with faults and flaws.

No, you didn't. Stop lying.

​@@eatsmylifeYTOn youtube this book has been recommended to high heaven and praised to death. Its not far fetched

@@egusisoup1826 Oh, so you believe everything you see on RU-vid? Besides, I said I didn't believe the poster when he said "I knew it right away." You should learn to look for context in what other people write before shooting off your mouth and making yourself look stupid.

@@egusisoup1826 he's a professional troll mate wouldn't bother. He quoted the Gladiator like it was a true quote of Aurelius and acted like it was profound

@@egusisoup1826 I'm really tired every american business-mindset guy treats this book as a motivational product they probably don't understand deeply, and saying it's unique and the first one in its genre, even if if it's not true (a previous stoic lesson was made by Epictetus...)

Eh, they are very different. Anne Frank's diary was a snapshot of history, her experiance of the war. Meditations is very different. It was written over 2000 years ago but it has nothing to do with history, nor setting. It's universal life lessons and insightful observations of human behavior. It could have been written in the present or a thousand years in our future and it would be the same book. It's timeless life lessons that apply to anyone and everyone, in every single era of human history. Anne Frank is a book about the horrors of WW2. Meditations is a book about what it means to be a human.

Read the Bible too if you want an enlightening experience

​@erenattacktitan4964 you mean a traumatizing experience?

​@@erenattacktitan4964..in the bible, there are so many teaching that is SO comparable to stoicism especially in the New Testament..The book of Paul has so much stoic context

@@watyusei1365 yeah, also greek philosophers are excellent too. Well, they're the ones that made philosophy after all

The book written by king James or the version commissioned by Constantine

This? 1st. Commandment, Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”. Old Testament punishment - Deuteronomy 17:1-5 “And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heavens, which I have not commanded. Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing and shalt stone them with stones, till they die”. Deuteronomy 14:6-10, “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is of thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. Thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God.” Exodus 22:20 “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed”. New Testament punishment - Mark 16:16 “He that believeth not, shall be damned”. 2nd. Commandment, Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.” Old Testament punishment- Deuteronomy 27: 1 5 “Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image.” That’s right kids don’t EVER draw, sculpt or paint or else god will curse you. Wanna be an artist, a photographer, take a picture of yourself or family? TOO BAD, God says no! You better drop out of art class before he smites you with boils. 3rd. Commandment, Exodus 20:7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain”. Old Testament punishment - Leviticus 24:16 “And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death”, New Testament punishment - Matthew 12:32 “Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. Mark 3:29 - “He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgivness, but is in danger of eternal damnation”. 4th. Commandment, Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”. Old Testament punishment - Exodus 31:15 “Whosoever shall work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death”. Numbers 15:32. “And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day…And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.” 5th. Commandment, Exodus 20:12 “Honour thy father and thy mother”. Old Testament punishment - Exodus 21:15-17 “And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death”. More punishment - Exodus 21:17 “And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death”. 6th. Commandment, Exodus 20:13 “Thou shalt not kill”. Strangely enough this is a commandment despite all the punishments that require death in the New Testament and the Old Testament. How can thou not kill when thou is commanded to kill at the same time? This hypocrisy should be pointed out if the ten commandments are posted in schools, court rooms and buildings of legislation. The confusion of this commandment would surely bring capitol punishment into question. 7th. Commandment, Exodus 20:14 “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. Old Testament punishment - Leviticus 20:10 “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death”. www.evilbible.com/do-not-ignore-the-old-testament/ten-commandments/
