Seneca - Moral Letters to Lucilius | Volume 3 (93-124)

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The third and final volume in The Moral Letters to Lucilius. (I've collected them into three volumes because the individual letters were offending the YouTube algorithm)
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)

Thanks a lot! It's rare to find such generosity & passion! I hope your channel could reach a larger audience.

[ralphmarionvicta]

Wow, 31 letters in one upload. Been waiting for this. Thank you for the effort.

[xashavalentina]

Excellent and informative videos. I find myself listening to them often on an earbud while I'm out and about .
Thank you for your efforts.

[DreamBreaking]

Thank you so much for all you do, bringing life to timeless newfound friends that are here to speak some kind of wisdom that still in these days speaks to the soul and humanity within. " Your the best greatest " So glad i found your work here on YouTube

[mmka]

You have done an outstanding job by publishing this wisdom. Seneca is the philosopher from whom I have learned a lot and I still do. Thanks Robin.

[Mihic]

Thanks so much, ive read the first 2 volumes so this came just in time!

[teddemopoulos]

You are an incredibly decent human for publishing this totally free of charge. Enjoying a nice Easter Sunday afternoon with this on, generating amazing amounts of wisdom!

[dailycontrarian]

Thanks so much for uploading this.. waiting for the audible audiobook

[nickbarber]

These are the best audiobooks of classic works on the web. May I request that you do Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius? I can’t seem to find a god recording of that one. Thanks for all you do!

[que]

Thank you for all the hard work you put in to your videos. They have priceless value. Hope all is well

[jesselee]

You have truly changed my life more than any other channel on YouTube. I hope you are well. Thank you for everything.

[justinrudolph]

Thank you Robin! Life changing teachings

[nfragala]

Significantly improved my life. Thank you.

[giovannironchi]

Thank you Robin, could you please also add the titles of the lettera in the description/comment? In case you can't it's not a problem since it is outside the realm of my governing principle

[Audrictor]

If, when I die, the voice of God himself is not that of Robin Homer I shall be greatly disappointed.

[juliamaxfalcon]

Listened to all the chapters. Thank you!

[dustinmasterson]

"On Consolation to the Bereaved", is so beautiful.

[Kimomaru]

7 HOURS?! Good Lord, Robin. How long did it take to record it?
