On the Shortness of Life
On the Shortness of Life: A new modern translationIs life truly short, or do we simply squander it? In this essential treatise, Seneca argues that nature is generous, yet we are wasteful. While we jealously guard our money, we carelessly give away our most precious asset: time.
Through incisive prose, the Stoic philosopher critiques those who live “busy” with trivialities, postponing happiness for a retirement that may never arrive. This work is an urgent call to stop merely existing and start truly living—mastering the present and embracing wisdom to transform a fleeting existence into a full and meaningful life.
