In the tradition of The Art of Living and Marcus Aurelius' Meditations--a practical book of timeless advice from one of the most powerful individuals in history--available for the first time in a highly accessible translation, including several unique features for contemporary readers and users of daily wisdom guides.

Essayist Matthew Arnold described the man who wrote these words as "the most beautiful figure in history." Possibly so, but he was certainly more than that. Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire at its height, yet he remained untainted by the incalculable wealth and absolute power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. Marcus knew the secret of how to live the good life amid trying and often catastrophic circumstances, of how to find happiness and peace when surrounded by misery and turmoil, and of how to choose the harder right over the easier wrong without apparent regard for self-interest.

The historian Michael Grant praises Marcus's book as "the best ever written by a major ruler," and Josiah Bunting, superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute, calls it "the essential book on character, leadership, duty." Never intended for publication, the Meditations contains the practical and inspiring wisdom by which this remarkable emperor lived the life not of a saintly recluse, but of a general, administrator, legislator, spouse, parent, and judge besieged on all sides.

The Emperor's Handbook offers a vivid and fresh translation of this important piece of ancient literature. It brings Marcus's words to life and shows his wisdom to be as relevant today as it was in the second century. This book belongs on the desk and in the briefcase of every business executive, political leader, and military officer. It speaks to the soul of anyone who has ever exercised authority or faced adversity or believed in a better day.

Exfoliating, durable, helps bars of soap last much longer.
Style: Sport
Am very happy with the convenience and longevity of this product. In addition the exfoliating properties they really do help make my bars of (sometimes quit expensive) soap in the shower last a lot longer - as much as 3 to 5 times as long. I simply hang it up or place on a shower caddy after rinsing the excess suds off and no more soft, soggy bars of leftover soap laying around. Having tried many different versions of these and I find this style is the easiest to get to properly hold onto any odd shaped or larger bars of soap without the soap accidentally popping out in the shower during use. They also seem to outlast many of the other soap savers. They don’t unexpectedly start unraveling after just a few uses like some of the bath poufs tend to do.

Really good, however, a drawstring to keep the soap inside would be amazing
Style: Sport
I bought these sport soap saver bags and I really enjoy them. I exfoliate with loofah all the time so I did not find the grit of this soap saver bag too abrasive. I found it perfect. I washed and lathered all my parts no problem. I had a half gone bar of soap I put inside upon receiving these bags, and the lather was amazing. The soap did move around the smallest little bit because it was smaller. I assume with a brand new bar soap It’s much easier to use. But that happens with all of these same design products. A drawstring at the end of the soap saver bag would make this five stars all day. I would definitely buy these again based on the quality and exfoliation level.
