Dollar had a soft and relaxing voice, East to listen to. He does a good job summarizing the chapters of Marcus Aurelius and also wisely shared some words directly from the book. I like his Buddhist background also.

A very insightful and informative course. I was very impressed by the fact much of the text echoed with Buddhist philosophy. Please can we have a course on seneca and Epictetus
