The Moral Epistles: 124 Letters to Lucilius (21-40)

"The Moral Epistles: 124 Letters to Lucilius" by Seneca the Younger, narrated by James Cameron Stewart

In these 124 letters, Seneca expresses, in a wise, steady, and calm manner, the philosophy by which he lived - derived essentially from the Stoics. The letters deal with a variety of specific topics - often eminently practical - such as 'On Saving Time', 'On the Terrors of Death', 'On True and False Friendships', 'On Brawn and Brains' and 'On Old Age and Death'.

His views are as relevant to us today as in his own time. He remarks on how we waste our time through lack of clarity of purpose, how we jump from one attraction to another and how fleeting life is. But these are letters to a friend, so the tone is not grandly didactic but friendly, personal, and direct and speak to us across the centuries.
