Great letters by Seneca on living according to Stoic virtues. Helps me a lot. Not a light read though, I can’t read this when I’m tired. Some letters I lost the point of, and didn’t think were really worth the read, like the ones on Scipio’s villa; not helpful from a philosophical standpoint but it would be interesting if you’re into architecture or ancient buildings, etc. Good read though.

New review 19/10/2023: 
I find more value in it now than I did last year. I disagree now that letters weren’t worth the read just because I personally didn’t connect with them. It has helped me more now than it did last I read it. I have a feeling this pattern will continue the more I grow and get out of these letters.
