On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long If You Know How to Use It by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
5.0
If you want to question the fruitfulness of your life then this is a MUST READ
Very short but as insightful as it is, it takes longer to digest it.
The start of the book, began with gems, but in honesty, the middle seemed to ramble a bit/ going off on a tangent. It picks up again towards the end & his conclusion made me smile, though some may describe it as biased.
In summary, live life to fullest! treat your time preciously. Retiring, drinking, wiling away your time is not fulfilling. Seneca answers what he deems to be the most fulfilling way to live life is, which make our lives and insights seem to last lifetimes.
