The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
"Live just as if I were sure to get news of your doings, nay, as if I were sure to behold them
...stick to your purpose, even though the crowd may surround and seek to distract you
...the enemy is indeed pressing upon you; you should therefore increase your speed
Would you know what makes men greedy for the future? It is because no one has yet found himself.
I pray that you may get such control over yourself that your mind, now shaken by wandering thoughts, may at last come to rest and be steadfast, that it may be content with itself and, having attained an understanding of what things are truly good…that it may have no need of added years"
