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.

In Gregory Hays's new translation--the first in thirty-five years--Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcus's insights been so directly and powerfully presented.

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.

Best washcloths for acne prone skin
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these wash cloths for many years. I am someone who suffers from occasional body acne and I feel like these do a good job of removing dead skin and oils from off my body to reduce future skin breakouts.

Exfoliates nicely and lathers up well
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
Exfoliates nicely without being too abrasive, also lathers up very well. It dries super quick after use and holds up well.

Highly recommended
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very surprised how much I love this product. It is not too abrasive but exfoliates so well leaving me nice and smooth. The length is not too long to be cumbersome but has lot of stretch to get the back and other body parts with ease. Highly recommend if you are looking for something extra to add to your routine!

The search is over for the perfect exfoliator!
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Multi-pack that comes with 3 exfoliating cloths; apricot, teal, and gray. Can’t speak on the difference between the 3 levels of exfoliating — HOWEVER, these cloths are: • generously stretchy (they bounce back to original form after drying & the stretch allows for back exfoliation) • made of quality material (nice & thick) • scrunchable to be able to use like regular (natural & plasticity) bath loofahs In the past, I’ve had this type of exfoliating cloth (I’ve tried different brands, some had plastic handles, some made with loofah, and so on..) but they never held up that well. These are great! I’d repeat-buy these for sure.
