Looking for a great summer (timeless) read? Recommendation for a summer book By Lynn D Carlisle, DDS "The Essential Marcus Aurelius", translated and introduced by Jacob
Needleman and John Piazza, Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin books. An introduction to Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" is called the first self help book
- a trivial statement about a powerful, classic book. Jacob
Needleman and John Piazza's translation of this classic book -
written 2,000 years ago - gives the general reader powerful
insights into one of the greatest philosophers/thinkers of
antiquity. "Meditations" came from Marcus' writing to himself about his
challenges as a person, emperor and "his own awakened attention in
the present moment". It contains "a secret within a secret". And
yes, his "Meditations" contains exercises that can help you
understand and cope with the challenges of our modern life. Keep it handy at your bedside, favorite chair or dental office for
ancient wisdom on these common "modern" challenges. Go to: www.spiritofcaring.com for recommendations for a "Summer
reading list".
