On the Shortness of Life by Seneca Summary
Overview of On the Shortness of Life
In Seneca's 1,900-year-old masterpiece, time isn't just money - it's life itself. While we chase distractions, this ancient Stoic reveals why most people "die before they've truly lived." Modern thought leaders still quote this Roman's surprisingly relevant wake-up call.

Why We Die Before We're Dead
What if you discovered that most people never truly live at all? They breathe, move, consume-but never actually inhabit their own lives. Two thousand years ago, a Roman philosopher named Seneca penned an observation so piercing it still cuts through our modern illusions: life isn't short; we just waste most of it. While we obsessively protect our money, property, and possessions, we give away our most irreplaceable resource-time-to anyone who asks. We live as if we'll exist forever, yet panic about mortality. We postpone meaningful living until retirement, saving wisdom for when our minds may be too dim to use it. Even Augustus Caesar, master of the known world, spent his reign longing for the leisure he never claimed. The uncomfortable question haunts us: are you truly living, or merely postponing life until some imagined future that may never arrive?
