The speaker described it as a book containing Hadot's own translation of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, which he praised. He specifically recommended reading an excerpt within this book.
I'm a big fan of Pierre Hadoo in his book The Intercedado which I carried the paint of Portugal into today's episode. But Hadoo does his own translation of meditations which has not been published except for the excerpts in the book and there's a really good one inside the intercedado which you should read.
