A short podcast episode (Heroic Wisdom Daily) by Brian Johnson summarizing Seneca’s On the Shortness of Life. The host presents Seneca’s core claim that life seems short because we waste time on trivialities and offers three practical prescriptions: (1) reflect on priorities, (2) eliminate wasted time, and (3) be present. The episode is a brief motivational prompt to apply Stoic ideas today.
