Life is not short, Seneca argues. We simply waste too much of it. In On the Shortness of Life, the Roman philosopher and statesman examines how people squander their most precious resource: time. With clarity and conviction, Seneca challenges the pursuit of wealth, status and distraction, urging readers instead to devote themselves to what truly matters. Combining sharp observation with practical wisdom, he shows how mindful living can free us from needless busyness and help us make better use of the years available to us.

His career was grounded in his continued success as an orator: his speeches were famous during his lifetime and, together with his rhetorical treatises, shaped the practice and theory of public speaking for centuries to come.

In the winter of 1437, on a ship crawling home from Constantinople, a German churchman was struck by an idea so strange that he spent the rest of his life defending it: the highest form of knowledge is knowing, with precision, what you cannot know. His name was Nicholas of Cusa, and he was, by turns, a boatman's son, a lawyer, a cardinal, a mathematician, a failed reformer, an accused heretic, and quite possibly the most modern mind of the fifteenth century. Five hundred years before relativity, he argued that the universe has no center and that all motion is relative.
