Moral letters to Lucilius

"We suffer more often in imagination than in reality." In Moral Letters to Lucilius, the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca writes with profound clarity on how to live wisely, ethically, and peacefully in a chaotic world. These 124 letters, addressed to his friend Lucilius, are more than ancient correspondence—they are a manual for personal growth, emotional resilience, and rational living. Seneca tackles timeless questions: How should we respond to fear? What does true happiness look like? How do we face death with dignity? Written nearly two thousand years ago, these letters feel surprisingly modern—and deeply needed.
