I got this book mid 2022, and finished that part of the year. 2023 was my first round trip through the entire book. I will be reading this daily for years. It's that good. Why? It makes me think with it's Stoic themes and comments every day.
It's perfect for it's purpose, a daily dip into stoic wisdom. Those who rated it one star are judging against a standard it's not attempting to meet. The author does not claim to give the best translations, only accessible ones.
I'm probably going to end up buying this and reading it daily for years.
For those looking for deep dives rather than a daily dip, read Long's translation of Meditations (or Hays for a version that's like having the author put his hand on his shoulder and advise you, while standing in a muddy field).
There are a lot of translations, look until you find one you like!
