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.Binding Type: Hardcover

a perfect manual toothbrush
Color: Mint
this is definitely my favorite toothbrush i've ever used. even though it's just a manual one, it's still my favorite. it's aesthetically pleasing and the bristles are perfectly soft so it doesn't hurt my gums (i naturally have sensitive and fragile gums). i love caps that covers bristles; it's a must if you keep your toothbrush in the bathroom and this toothbrush comes with a cap that clicks open instead of one that slides on and off, pretty unique and much more hygienic as it keeps the germs out much better.
i can't comment on the capabilities of the charcoal since i just received this but i can say that when i used it, i didn't feel any grit at all, so i believe boka's claim that the charcoal is soft enough to be safe for teeth (most of the time, charcoal is too gritty for teeth and ruins the enamel) the toothbrush is also pretty hefty so it's not cheap! paired with the boka toothpaste, my teeth feel so clean. now off to buy the whitening strips, floss, and mouthwash tablets from my new favorite brand!

Excellent toothbrushes!

I absolutely love these toothbrushes. They clean so well and there is just this perfect bristle hardness to it so that my teeth and gums feel like they’ve gone to the spa.

Super Soft & High Quality – Great Toothbrushes!

Love these toothbrushes! The bristles are extra soft and comfortable, making them gentle on gums but still effective for cleaning. The overall quality is excellent, and they’re a solid pick for both adults and kids. Highly recommend for everyday brushing!

Lovely dense and soft.
Color: Multi Color
Perfect toothbrush.
I’ve always loved a super stiff toothbrush, it just felt right, like scrubbing the grime off. BUT, I ended up scrubbing my gums into recession. So I’ve had to buy soft toothbrushes.
For years I’ve hated them. Waterpik, floss then brush and the brushing felt always felt like I wasn’t doing anything. I disliked everything about the bristles.
These were bought on a whim, they’re pretty and have four which is how many I needed to replace everyone’s toothbrushes.
I LOVE these. They’re definitely soft, in a way I haven’t felt before and can’t really articulate, but they’re also dense. There are a lot of bristles. The bristles feel like I’m getting my teeth very clean, like they’re getting into all the little areas they need to.
The only issue I have is they squeak a little and that can be annoying.
