The Stoic Secret: How Seneca Stole Back His Time Before Death

著者：
Most of us cannot remember the last day we truly owned; Seneca wrote that life is long if we don't make it small, and he wrote those words while co-running the Roman Empire. How did a man at the center of power recognize the exact ways people disappear from their own hours, and what did he do about it in his final years?
In this episode, we trace Seneca’s life, his letters, and the circumstances of his forced retirement and death to show what he identified as the social and psychological traps that steal time. We follow his advice to Paulinus and his final hours dictating words as he died to ask: can the occupied life be reclaimed?
