On the Shortness of Life

"*On the Shortness of Life* is a profound moral essay by the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger, written around 49 AD and addressed to his father-in-law Paulinus.

He argues that nature grants us ample time to accomplish what truly matters, but it’s up to each person to manage it wisely. Seneca advocates for living in the present and dedicating one’s time to a life of purpose and intention. Listening to the audiobook version offers distinct advantages. It allows you to absorb Seneca's wisdom on the go—whether you're commuting, exercising, or unwinding.

On Benefits

"In 'On Benefits', Seneca delves into the art of giving and receiving, crafting a timeless discourse on the ethics of generosity. Lucid and profound, this treatise examines not just the act, but the intent behind kindness, and the bonds it forms or breaks within society. Seneca’s exploration extends to gratitude, its importance, and its challenges, making this work a philosophical gem on the nuances of benevolence and its reverberating effects on human connections and moral obligations."

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (Author), George Easton (Narrator)

On Benefits

"The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits’. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours’, because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions. Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, sooner or later, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius’s warning: ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be,’ Seneca is well aware that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of role of the giver, of which ‘kindness’, he says, is an important aspect – but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part – and ‘gratitude’ is again only one response. Seneca’s background as a Stoic underpins his approach, so he warns against the inappropriate giving and receiving of benefits, which extend far beyond just material goods: it includes influence, wives, patronage and all manner of vice and immorality. In short, Seneca points out that the giving and receiving of favours can be, and often is a pernicious and dangerous affair, resulting in later disaster. Something to be exercised with caution."
