This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

My Notes:
“What is the happy life? It is peace of mind, and lasting tranquillity. This will be yours if you possess greatness of soul; it will be yours if you possess the steadfastness that resolutely clings to a good judgment just reached”
"pleasure, on the contrary, actually destroys the soul and softens all its vigour"

What is the happy life? It is piece of mind, and lasting tranquillity.This will be yours if you possess greatness of soul. How does a man reach this position? By gaining a complete view of truth, by maintaining, in all that he does, order, measure, fitness and a will that is inoffensive and kindly, that is intent upon reason and never departs therefrom, that commands at the same time love and admiration.
It blows my mind that Seneca was writing these words over two thousand years ago....here we are living in current times 2020 a covid infected world rampant among the nations of the people and yet Seneca wise words echo down the ages .Timless wisdom granted to all if you choose to accept it. Let reason always be your wise guide in Life .

To bear trials with a calm mind robs misfortune of it's strength and burden.

It's strange of me to make a request, however, as I've listened to pretty much everything you've on a near daily basis for years, I'd really like to have your voice for this, as I clearly love it and you. Have you read how to live on 24 hours a day by Arnold Bennet? I consider it among the same vein as On The Shortness of Life by Seneca and The Wisdom Of Life by Schopenhauer (another fantastic, short, and powerful read). If you decide to read it and enjoy it, I'd be extremely grateful to get an audiobook version of it. It's 41 pages, and very impactful to me. Obviously this is completely up to you, if you read it and enjoy it and feel moved enough to make an audio rendition, I would be very happy.
