### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be on every busy person's bedside table
*by J***J on March 20, 2013*

Too little time? Life's too short? Across the millennia the richest man in Rome and one of the sanest philosophers you will meet across the ages offers advice to get more out of your limited time span.Seneca rightly observes that someone who wastes your time steals the most precious commodity you have - time lost can never be restored. He describes first century Rome as if it is today, you never have time for friends, or they for you. You don't get to see anybody without an appointment. Time flies. But then comes some of the most beautifully true words in the history of advice on the art of living: The great philosophers of the past always have time for you Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, they are all at your disposal in the middle of the night. They are never too busy for you. Engage with them through their words. And as you read well into the past, you transcend the limitations of your own life, suddenly your own life stretches across the centuries. You gain longevity by living into the past, even if your future is limited! I came across this book of Seneca some ten years ago and I could never understand why it was never prescribed to us in academic philosophy! And then the potency of the insights are matched by the brevity of the writing. This book can rightly be called a source for a sane and inspirational life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy read, and short.
*by Q***B on June 25, 2016*

This is a relatively short and easy read, as far as philosophical texts go. The book is thin with content on pages 3 to 54 with a larger print. I was able to read it in two days. I could have done it in 1 though my four year old was not making that easy. This is more of a summary of "On the Happy Life", a brief description of Seneca's major ideas and points he was making. It is thought provoking but not a life changer. You won't lose anything by reading this, being that it's so short and cheap. If you're looking to add substance to your library though I can't say this would be the one to add.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good insights
*by S***Y on May 26, 2025*

Lots of actionable advice. Really good insight into our "i don't have time" habits
