About This Book
Life Is Not Short: The Moral Essays of Seneca is an adapted and abridged collection that selects the central ideas from five of the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca’s dialogues and reconstructs them as fifty-five concise essays.
As the tutor and advisor to Emperor Nero, Seneca stood close to the center of imperial power and played a role in shaping the fate of the Roman Empire. Yet it was in the midst of this extraordinarily busy life that he developed some of history’s most penetrating insights into the nature of time.
“Life is not short. We make it short.”
His diagnosis, made two thousand years ago, requires not a single word of revision today. For modern people who feel perpetually pursued by time, this book offers a powerful reminder that reclaiming our time is ultimately a way of reclaiming ourselves.
The fifty-five essays in this volume confront the days we so readily allow to slip away. They can be read in sequence or opened at random, offering timely reflections for anyone seeking to take back control of a life consumed by busyness.
