See for yourself a couple excerpts of the original book compared to this book:

Original:
"In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his senses a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, and his fame doubtful. In short, all that is of body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapors; life a warfare, a brief sojourning in an alien land; and after repute, oblivion. Where, then, can man find the power to guide and guard his steps? In one thing and one alone: philosophy."

Meditations in Modern English for Young Adults:
"Life is short, always changing, and our understanding of the world is limited. Our bodies decay over time, and luck is unpredictable. People won't always remember us after we're gone. So, what's the one thing that can always help us? It's philosophy."

Original:
"Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm, and tames the fury of the water around it"

Meditations in Modern English for Young Adults:
"Be strong and unshaken like a rock that stands firm, even when waves crash against it, as they eventually fade out."

Original:
"He who has a vehement desire for posthumous fame does not consider that every one of those who remember him will himself also die very soon"

Meditations in Modern English for Young Adults:
"If you worry too much about what people will say about you after you're gone and make your reputation your main concern, remember that those who knew you will be gone soon too."
