"We are not given a short life, but we make it short."
Letter 1: On Saving Time
Seneca wrote 124 letters to his friend Lucilius, covering every aspect of the good life.
Unlike excerpt collections, we read every letter in full. The Gummere translation (1917-1925) is public domain.
Richard M. Gummere's translation from the Loeb Classical Library (1917, 1920, 1925). All three volumes were published before 1930, making the translation public domain in the US. Seneca himself died in 65 AD.
Ryan Holiday's Daily Stoic offers short excerpts with modern commentary. We read every letter in its entirety, unabridged. You hear Seneca's complete argument, not just selected quotes.
Most letters are 5-15 minutes of audio. Perfect for a morning routine, commute, or evening reflection.
Absolutely. While designed as a 124-day journey, every letter stands alone. Browse the index and listen to whatever speaks to you.
Yes. Seneca has been dead for nearly 2,000 years and the translation is public domain. We believe wisdom this important should be free.
