On the Shortness of Life by Seneca (Paperback)

Life isn't short, Seneca argues. We just waste most of it. A brief, piercing essay on busyness, distraction and reclaiming your time before it's gone. This edition pairs it with Seneca's essay The Happy Life.

Read it if: you want the most time-efficient philosophy book ever written.

First Shelf — short and gripping. Finish it this weekend.
