Seneca was born in Cordoba, Spain, around 4 BC. He received a well-rounded education in Rome, studying rhetoric and philosophy. He became a follower of Stoicism, a Greek philosophy that emphasized reason, virtue, and living in harmony with nature.
Seneca's political career was filled with both success and controversy. He served as an advisor to emperor Nero, but eventually fell out of favor and was forced to commit suicide in 65 AD.
Despite the dramatic end to his life, Seneca's writings continue to be influential today.
His philosophical letters, tragedies, and essays offer timeless wisdom on topics such as:
- The importance of living a virtuous life
- How to deal with adversity
- The fleeting nature of wealth and power
Here are some of Seneca's most famous works:
- Letters from a Stoic

Marcus Aurelius wrote all this in the form of a diary, therefore addressing himself. Did he really believe in what he wrote? I am neither a philosopher nor an emperor, yet I also write a diary addressing myself, not everything I write I manage to do in practice. It was the same for him perhaps? Greetings from Italy
just about the only thing I disagree with the stoics on is their faith in gods. And even then, their gods were MUCH more palatable than the Abrahamic one. Aside from that, the rest of the philosophy is pure gold. And they never said being emotional is a bad thing. It is all about proportion and control. People seem to think being a stoic is akin to being a Star Trek Vulcan for some reason. It's simply not the case.

Thanks for the video , seriously i really appreciate it . i see alot of people complain about the lack of time stamps. The Irony of whinning about time stamps , WHILE trying to learn more about STOICISM is totally lost on them . cheers
stoicism is more than not whinging.
The stoics were right about many things but they had their heads up their asses when it came to divinity. Yeah, I know, the era. Still...........

It's congress'duty to promote science and technology and I have more inventions.. dumbasses.. Hypocrites. 🇺🇸🏴☠️ I'm only homeless because I'm using my "right" to protest. As long as America doesn't pay me, the more hypocritical it looks to those that are aware of my situation. I'm in a parking lot on Hawks Nest..

It may not be the same thing- but if we listen to say a three hour recording of Mozarts greatest recordings- the video originator will often give us a track listing so we know what the selection are. We may want to listen to a particular piece first. If we are lucky, we even get tiime stamps so we can directly to the selection fast. I am sure that this is a lot of work
You won’t get that with this guy - he’s a control freak who wants to enforce his control over others.
Good point. I am just supposed to listen to a six hour recording without any idea of what is included? Some subject matters will be more interesting to me than others. When we read a collection of say non-fiction essays in a book, dont we look at the contents to see what the chapter listing is? We simply may not initially have the
Sorry I cut myzelf offf. We may not simply have the time initially to read the complete book so we focus on a particular subject. What is so difficult to understand about this?. This video originator. seems to have an exalted opinion of his worth but has little respect for his listeners interest and time. So he lost me as a potential audience.

As long as you continue to broaden your mind, your life has not been wasted.
Thank god and the uploader for granting us the oppurtunity to be able to listen to seneca s teachings without actually paying nor making effort for it
Love it.
Hey there! Thanks a ton for sharing "Epictetus - How to be Free (Audiobook)"! What a treasure trove of wisdom. Epictetus' insights on freedom and self-mastery are just mind-blowing. Can't wait to dive deep into this ancient guide to the stoic life. You're the best for passing this along!
My new personal bible,every letter is great
Thanks for sharing the transcript of "Seneca - On the Tranquil Mind (Audiobook)"! It's incredibly insightful, delving into the complexities of the human mind and our constant struggle with vices and virtues. Seneca's reflections on finding peace amidst life's uncertainties are truly thought-provoking. Can't wait to dive deeper into it!
soo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
im stunned about how people complaining about the book and blaming the channel owner for not marking the chapters or like one of the comments saying that he wont listen for whole 6hrs cause he wont remember a thing later, and other stupid notices ..well..at least show some gratitude for the guy who uploaded 6hrs audiobook for you for free, and say thank you at least with your stupid comment, and for the content you can convert the UA-cam files to mp3 and listen to it later reather then complaining that you cant remember where you stoped before..and to the channel: thank you
You sound like me after I’ve sobered up from a crystal meth binge

people are spoiled children today . so much free stuff at finger tips and they cry because , muh tiestamp . yet they are trying to be intelligent , in their pursuit of philosophy . Aurelius , said that people are what they are , they can push your limits , try your patience etc. But as , a person of higher intelligence rather then get mad , try to understand , and then guide or teach them. But DAMN it gets hard sometimes , does it not brother ?
Yes, it does brother.

Brother the audio is at it is. The thing with ancient texts is that some data cannot be found , maybe these missing chapter were not found by the translators. So they moved to the next chapter.

At the end of chapter 6 he uses Old English a few times, uses words like "hath". This makes me think Dobbins was lazy or this is an older translation.
Guess he was lazy, cause this is a latest Translation.
@@Wisdomprojectofficial lol okay. I prefer Hard for Epictetus, but Dobbins was on point for Meditations.
@@Human_Evolution- Dear sir, this was THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON translation, 1865. Your welcome.
@Wisdom Project I have one complaint. Please use a real image on Seneca rather than the fake one you are using in you banner and videos. Kind of triggers me. Like quoting Abraham Lincoln and putting the quote on a picture of Obama.
Yes brother, we will take care of it from next time .
@@Wisdomprojectofficial I have some images of him if you want. I paid an artist to bring him back to life. Back before artificial intelligence was a thing.
Of course , It would help.
Which translation is this?
I think it's Robert Dobbin's.
@@Wisdomprojectofficial I have not listened yet, but I will. The new (Dobbins) translation is so much better than the old Loeb translation in my opinion. Love the new translation uploads you have going on, it is a rare thing on YT.
@@Wisdomprojectofficial Also, can you double check the translation since you seem to not be 100% sure. I can't find my Dobbins translation or else I would. Also, can you upload everything, the 4 books, fragments, and the Enchiridion?
@Human_Evolution- I am sure of it. It's of Robert Dobbin's and it a penguin classics.
@@Wisdomprojectofficial Oh yeah, Dobbins had the translation that is not complete. You should be the first and only to put the whole Hard translation up, that one ifs the best because it is complete and new.

good job, but you should have left this out this one time . imagine a bunch of people trying to learn about stoicism , yet cannot remember to look at and remember a Time stamp, and then if thats not enough , to whine about the lack of time stamps as a stoic . now that is comedy that writes itself . That said i appreciate your effort.

Letter 2 - 24:58

People in the comments complaining about this and that are not ‘strict with themselves and tolerant of others’ 👀
We Sith are strict, rigorous and stern with others. People sometimes lack selfcontrol and discipline.
