About the author

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca or Seneca the Younger); ca. 4 BC – 65 AD) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He was tutor and later advisor to emperor Nero, who later forced him to commit suicide for alleged complicity in the Pisonian conspiracy to have him assassinated.

Reviews

[Daydreamer · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this collection of essays about different topics. Even though they were written a few hundred years ago, I often find things that are still up to date in a way.
Many things could be used today and would lead to a more relaxed life, I guess.
However, you have to think over some statements for a long time and not simply reject it because it sounds so strange to you. It happened to me sometimes that I found a statement bewildering, but when I thought about it over and over again the following days, I realised that there was much truth in it.
Of course you don’t have to like everything he says, I don’t do that either. But I think that some of his advice can improve your life.

Didn't gain any new insights into stoicism, so it was a chore to get through it all. At the same time the inaccesible language doesn't make it a good starter for people new to stoicism. Rating is not reflecting the text itself and its content, it just reflects how much I got out of it.

[Reinhard Gobrecht · Rating 4 out of 5]

Für Seneca sind verschiedene Begriffe relevant die ein glückliches Leben beschreiben.
Eigenes Bewusstsein. Eine edle Seele. Vernunft und Tugend. Tugend ist das wahre Glück - Gott nach Möglichkeit ähnlich zu werden. Ein gesunder, geduldiger, starker und tatkräftiger Geist. Sorgsam auf den Körper und seine Bedürfnisse achtend, aber ohne Ängstlichkeit.
Belaste Dich nicht mit viel Gepäck.

Der Mensch hat sich innerhalb von 2000 Jahren im Innersten nicht viel verändert. Das Buch ist aktuell und eine echtes Neues Testament ohne Doppeldeutigkeiten und ohne Doppelmoral.
