"Life is long if you know how to use it."... "Life is long if you know how to use it."From the author of Letters From A Stoic (Epistulae Morales), comes another brilliant, timeless guide to living well.Written as a moral essay to his friend Paulinus, Seneca´s biting words still pack a powerful punch two thousand years later. With its brash rejection of materialism, conventional lifestyles and group-think,On The Shortness of Life is as relevant as ever. Seneca anticipates the modern world. It´s a unique expose of how people get caught up in the rat race and how for those stuck in this mindset, enough is never enough.The `busy´ individuals of Rome Seneca makes reference to, those people who are too preoccupied with their careers and maintaining social relationships to fully examine the quality of their lives, sound a lot like ourselves.The message is simple: Life is long if you live it wisely. Don´t waste time worrying about how you look. Don´t be lazy. Don´t over indulge in entertainment and vice. Everything in moderation.Seneca defends Nature and attacks the lazy. Materialism and a love of trivial knowledge are exposed as key time wasters, along with excess ambition, networking and worrying too much.In this new non-verbatim translation by Damian Stevenson, Seneca´s essay comes alive for the modern reader. Seneca´s formality of language has been preserved but the wording is more attuned to a contemporary ear. This is a rare treat for students of Stoicism and for anyone interested in seeking an answer to the eternal question, “How should I best use my time?öIncludes biographical sketch Seneca The Stoic.Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: On the Shortness of Life;Afmetingen: 3x229x152 mm;Gewicht: 77,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: maart 2015;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 1508820821;ISBN13: 9781508820826; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2015.
