It’s 65 (!) pages long!!! Boring as heck, has no structure and very opinionated. I was trying to push myself and read till it till the end but it’s just impossible to read so badly it’s written. Get the book, skip 65 pages and enjoy the Meditations ## Frequently Bought Together - Meditations - The 48 Laws of Power --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/251814141-penguin-meditations-a-new-translation](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/251814141-penguin-meditations-a-new-translation) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-16*
