JAMES HARRIS

The original creator of the first modern, and best-selling version of: Meditations in 2016.

Born in London, England, 1986. James possesses a strong imagination, a keen perception for mathematics, and loves his native language of English, all of which were acquired through his family members.

His mother imparted her creativity as a trained artist graduating from the Chiswick Polytechnic, which also derived from his grandmother, who worked at the College of Arms creating heraldry for aristocrats and royalty.

His uncle: a classically trained pianist, organist, councillor, alderman, founder of a church, and engineer working for The Ministry of Defence, gave great depth to his love of language and I.T. skills, and was an immense archetype of a godly spirit.

His father: an RAF officer and Red Cross centre manager; his grandfather: a Royal Navy inspector; and his great-grandfather: a British Army officer, have contributed to a love of logic and orderliness.

James studied electrical engineering in college, and achieved his BA (Hons) in Business & Finance; all the while in his spare time he stripped engines and shipped them internationally. He created an app for the iPhone in 2012, became an IT engineer for Fujitsu, and then trained as an accountant at PwC London. His entry scores were in the top one percent of the world for mathematics, logic, pattern, and spatial recognition. He then worked as a financial auditor at Goldman Sachs on the FX & EM desks.

Yet his passion for words, historic texts, and a need for reconciliation, led him to rewrite classics in the evenings; this was so he could understand them better and to make them coherent and accessible to the modern reader.

His ancestry dating back in England to the times of the Roman Empire, made him feel he had a spiritual and genetic connection to the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, and so, he read and rewrote The Meditations in 2016 which became a best seller and still is today. This, as a consequence, has touched many lives, reopened and led the world to discuss Stoicism.

Several years later, almost every notable person has mentioned Stoicism at one time or another, which has also led to a proliferation of those seeking to emulate the work of James Harris; however, it will forever stand that his edition was the first of its kind.

Much of James’ work centres around philosophy, strategy, tactics, warfare and action; yet there is much more to come beyond being an author; when the time is right, the moves will proceed, and their execution will be precise.
