It is like a treatise on how to live, how to be, with deliberations on the most common human struggles that assail us. So many incredible insights here. Seneca was a wise and enlightened being for sure. My only complaint, as usual with Seneca's work, is that it can seem patronising. He writes as if he were lecturing you, droning on continuously. But other than that, such a great read and I cannot wait to annotate my highlights.
