Letters from a Stoic - Seneca

 


These are letters written from Seneca to someone, I forget who but it takes a bunch of letters and combines them into the book. So these letters cover all sorts of topics and matter from the view of seneca as they were happening to him. So some days it's about him coming across something and having an opinion and telling it to this person that this is how you should do it. Other days are about how he is sick and should deal with sickness so it's all these various situations he is put in and then he talks about his view. I think the main thing I remember from this is when he is talking about traveling. Basically he says people travel but their problems follow. I find it very true since people always travel to 'get away'. 



Interesting if you are into this kind of stuff but wouldn't be if you are not.
