Learning how to live and, above all, how to die requires a whole lifetime. Old age usually comes as a surprise to people, and death terrifies all those who have spent their lives overly occupied with things that do not enhance their quality.

Description

Learning how to live and, above all, how to die requires a whole lifetime. Old age usually comes as a surprise to people, and death terrifies all those who have spent their lives overly occupied with things that do not enhance their quality.

Therefore, a person should have a satisfactory amount of time ahead of them to engage with philosophy, which alone is capable of connecting them with the past and all the wise. What philosophy offers is beyond the wear and damage that time inflicts.

The wisdom of the ages will open the paths of immortality to a person and give meaning to their passage through the earth.

    I had never read a book by him before, nor anything similar. I read it within a 4-hour period, it is easy to read and you immediately grasp the meaning. Essentially, the whole book is about how we invest our time. I would definitely read it again as it puts you in a process of constructive thinking about where you dedicate your time. I will also read the rest of Seneca's works.

    For me, who is not accustomed to reading such books, it seemed a little difficult to read.
