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!"

Escritos na metade do século I d.C., em formato epistolar, os dois diálogos contidos neste volume foram provavelmente as únicas obras latinas dedicadas a expor uma terapêutica para a superação da ira e para o alcance de um estado de perene serenidade. Ambos exemplificam a concepção que Sêneca—preceptor de Nero e um dos maiores filósofos da Antiguidade romana—tinha da filosofia: uma disciplina prática, destinada não só a elevar a qualidade ética da vida humana, mas sobretudo a promover um processo de ascese espiritual, conforme a perspectiva afirmada pela doutrina estoica.
