• Practical philosophy in accessible language

  Read the classic works of thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca in bite-size pieces. We've adapted outdated, public domain translations into modern prose so that you can focus on the ideas and not the language.

  In other words, read this:

  Rusticus helped me realize that I needed to work on improving myself and being more disciplined. He taught me to not get caught up in trying to outdo others with fancy speeches or writing on speculative matters, and to not practice discipline or do good deeds just so I can show off. He also encouraged me to avoid rhetoric, poetry, and fancy writing.

  Meditations, Book I, para. 7.

  Bloomscroll Adaptation

  Instead of this:

  From Rusticus I received the impression that my character required improvement and discipline; and from him I learned not to be led astray to sophistic emulation, nor to writing on speculative matters, nor to delivering little hortatory orations, nor to showing myself off as a man who practises much discipline, or does benevolent acts in order to make a display; and to abstain from rhetoric, and poetry, and fine writing;

  Meditations, Book I, para. 7.

  Translation by George Long in 1862

  Talk about hortatory orations and fancy writing!
