Reading the basis of certain ideas can many times add context for how they developed, and what a deeper meaning for them might be. This piece of work from Seneca lays down the groundwork for many great ideas that have driven whole new philosophies into existence, and added strength to the Stoic tradition.

I gave this book three stars however because while it lays groundwork, more recent authors have done a much better job at broadening and deepening many of the important themes that are touched upon in this book. In comparison, this piece of work feels a bit shallow.

this is my bible

Basically, how to work with life ... living and dying with dignity. Teensy bit of misogyny in there, but what's knew?
