Looking for a great (timeless) summer read?
Lynn D Carlisle DDS
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 and his ancient timeless answers to
modern problems of life (and your dental practice). Marcus Aurelius' Meditations is called the first self help book
- a trivial statement about a wise, classic book. Jacob
Needleman and John Piazza's translation -
written 2,000 years ago - gives you 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 ideas that can help you
understand and cope with the challenges of our modern life. It is recognizable to students of early Christianity and Buddhism, of the Vedas and the Talmud, and to all who seriously search for meaning in contemporary life. Keep it handy at your bedside, favorite chair or dental office for
ancient wisdom on these common "modern" challenges.
