Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (Book 11)

If you desire to master pain
Unroll this book and read with care,
And in it find abundantly
A knowledge of the things that are,
Those that have been, and those to come.
And know as well that joy and grief
Are nothing more than empty smoke.
A reading by Chris Krause, based upon the Gregory Hays translation. MP3s available here:

Thanks so much! On my second listening. I indeed use this when I need to gird myself with courage. You reading is very good.

No problem, glad I could be of help.

Ah, thank you for making this..
I am reading this book for a project and am having trouble with the last chapter. Hays traslation is so much easier to understand, and your voice is clear.
I am very interested in Aurelius' philosophy.
I might download the mp3s as something to listen to when I need guidance.

The despicable phoniness of people who say 'Listen, I'm going to level with you here.'

I have the book, but like to reenforce it with audio.
