On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long If You Know How to Use It by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
3.0
Most of the book is an excellent call to action, a gut wrenching diagnosis of our terminal condition and a brilliant destruction of all the perennially common ways of trying to find a way around this fact. The conclusion is bizarrely flimsy, essentially retire early and enjoy yourself. This doesn't solve the problem, and it just isn't available to the vast majority of us. It's a short book and we'll worth reading regardless.
