Discover one of the most powerful philosophical works ever written, now in a clear and truly readable modern English edition.
On the Shortness of Life by Seneca is more than an ancient essay. It is a direct and timeless reflection on how we waste our lives, and how we can reclaim them.
Written nearly 2,000 years ago, Seneca confronts a question that still defines modern life:
Why does life feel so short?
His answer is simple and unsettling:
Life is not short. We make it short.
