Review: On the Shortness of Life

On the Shortness of Life On the Shortness of Life by Seneca
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book that creeps into you and slowly affects the way you look at things, not least of all, your own life. Life is lived on two levels - the actual living as well as the parsing and analysis of life later. This book offers wonderful guidance on the first as well as serving as an invaluable guide to the latter. If I started to quote from the book, I would surely end up being guilty of copyright breach, I would only urge you to read it, wherever you are in life, whatever your state of mind. It shall add riches to your years.
