Ryan Holiday: 阅读《沉思录》彻底改变了我的人生轨迹。19岁时，我在大学公寓里第一次读到这本书，它立刻引起了我的共鸣，并持续至今。这本书不仅影响了我的职业选择，让我走上了推广斯多葛哲学的道路，也持续塑造着我的生活方式，它教会我如何面对生活中的挑战，如何提升自我，如何保持内心的平静。我将这本书视为我生命中最重要和最具改变意义的物品之一。多年来，我反复阅读这本书，并从中汲取智慧，指导我的生活和工作。如今，我甚至有幸为这本书的新版撰写序言，这对我来说是一个莫大的荣誉。这不仅是一本书，更是我的良师益友，它陪伴我走过了人生的许多重要时刻，并继续指引着我前进的方向。 Ryan Holiday: 《沉思录》的价值在于其真诚和发自内心的自我提升练习。马可·奥勒留的文字并非空洞的教条，而是他本人与自身困境抗争的真实记录。这种真诚意外地帮助我们解决现代问题，因为尽管时代背景不同，但人性始终如一。书中关于应对痛苦、克服嫉妒、控制情绪、直面死亡等议题的探讨，至今仍具有深刻的现实意义。它并非一本为了出版而写的书，而是作者本人进行自我反思的工具，这使得它更具真实性和感染力。它帮助我理解了人生的本质，也让我明白如何更好地生活。这本书的意义不仅在于其内容，更在于它所传递的精神，它教会我们如何成为更好的人，如何面对生活中的挑战，如何找到内心的平静。
