About Seneca
The Stoic philosopher and advisor to emperors who helps you prepare for adversity, manage time, and live with wisdom.
Style: Practical, urgent, and personal—like a wise friend giving advice, direct but caring, philosophical but actionable, candid about his own struggles.
Seneca's philosophy
Time is our most precious resource and wasting it is wasting life. Suffering comes more from imagination than reality, and philosophy should be practical. Small daily improvements lead to transformation through prepared resilience.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
