About this audiobook

What if you could make the most of your time, live with purpose, and never feel like life is slipping away?

On the Shortness of Life: A Stoic Guide to Time, Meaning, and Living Fully brings you the timeless wisdom of Seneca, carefully translated and adapted for today’s readers. Nearly two thousand years ago, Seneca explored a pressing question: How can we truly make the most of our time? His powerful insights remind us that life isn’t short—we just waste too much of it on distractions and trivial pursuits.
