Die Kürze des Lebens: Wir haben nicht zu wenig Zeit - wir vergeuden zu viel. Das Leben ist lang, wir selbst machen es kurz, indem wir es achtlos dahinfließen lassen. Das ist die grundlegende Einsicht des großen Stoikers Lucius Annaeus Seneca. "Du verteidigst Deinen Reichtum, aber Du vergeudest Dein Leben!", "Du lebst, als wärst Du ewig da!", "Schämst Du dich nicht, Dein Leben in die Zukunft hinauszuschieben, statt es jetzt zu leben!"

Who doesn't worry sometimes that smart phones, the Internet, and TV are robbing us of time and preventing us from having a life? How can we make the most of our time on earth?

To give and receive well may be the most human thing you can do-but it is also the closest you can come to divinity. So argues the great Roman Stoic thinker Seneca in his longest and most searching moral treatise, "On Benefits" (De Beneficiis). James Romm's splendid new translation of essential selections from this work conveys the heart of Seneca's argument that generosity and gratitude are among the most important of all virtues.

"It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die", wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always", and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out.

Seeing self-possession as the key to an existence lived 'in accordance with nature', the Stoic philosophy called for the restraint of animal instincts and the importance of upright ethical ideals and virtuous living.
