What if the real problem isn't that life is short—but that we waste so much of it?

In this powerful and accessible new translation of Seneca's On the Shortness of Life, the ancient Stoic philosopher delivers a timeless reminder: life is long enough if you live it wisely. With vivid stories, sharp insights, and practical guidance, Seneca challenges you to rethink your time, your priorities, and the way you measure a meaningful life.

Perfect for fans of Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism, and modern self-development, this audiobook helps you:

- Stop drifting through your days and live with intention

- Escape the trap of busyness and reclaim your time

- Learn how to face aging and death without fear

- Discover the power of philosophy as a way of life

Whether you're overwhelmed by distractions, stuck in routines, or seeking clarity in a noisy world, On the Shortness of Life offers a path to deeper focus, purpose, and peace.
