A poignant reminder of what we so deeply intuit yet so easily forget and so chronically fail to put into practice. – fuente

No book has shaped my life more than Seneca's On the Shortness of Life. I believe with all of my heart that it is the greatest thing that has ever been written, and there is no way that I can do it justice except to encourage everyone I know to read it. It is the answer to the question of how we should live our lives, a powerful call to spend our days on things that truly matter. – fuente2020-10-18T05:49:59.000Z

“People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.”
Doubling down on recommending this one after finishing it. Short read... can anyone rec similar books? – fuenteSays something about the fact that it’s not so much the shortness of life, it’s how we waste it. – fuente
