The Responsibility of Translating Marcus Aurelius | David Hernández de la Fuente
Today, Ryan is joined by David Hernández de la Fuente, the translator behind the Spanish edition of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Together, they talk about the responsibility of a translator, Seneca’s legacy as a Spanish Stoic, sharing Marcus’ work with new audiences, and the renaissance of Stoicism.
David is a writer and professor of Greek philology at the University of Madrid. He brings a refreshingly positive perspective on Stoicism to the academic world, as he shares in the article: Stoicism is back: This is the ‘slave doctrine’ to understand today’s bosses and employees.

Customer Reviews
Great daily summaries
These podcasts are a good summary and Ryan does a great job contextuaizing the teacchings to everyday modern life. It makes it practical and kinda makes sense. I am reading Marcus Aurelius’ meditations, and these podcasts are a good guide
Great content, lots of ads
The content is great once you get to it through all the things Ryan tries to sell you along the way. Would love a paid version without all the noise.
A great daily reminder on what matters
The daily stoic book and all the other books Ryan Holiday has wrote have been a great and powerful tool in my daily life. So is this podcasts that I try to listen to daily. We’re all busy and all here to get better and this podcast is a great way to make that happen. In your car, on the road, during your lunch or walk.
