I tried to read a lot of translations, but only managed to read one from Sam Torode. It’s not real translation but his version of it without a lot of duplicates in original text. I have his version of Epictetus Enchiridion too which is also very easy to read.

I've never heard of that one. I'll have to give it a look. I'll have to admit that I wasn't just blown away by Meditations in any form. I came onto it late in adulthood, by which time I had already learned many of its lessons the hard way. I think it is much more appealing to younger people. I was just struck by the part about getting out of bed early. I was always one who loved to marinate in the warmth of a good bed and a good wife, so I hated to get up and get going. So the early morning part was not something I had internalized by the time I first read it.
