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:
"...keep your retirement in the background. There is no need to fasten a placard upon yourself with the words: "Philosopher and Quietist."
"It is, however, a sort of vaunting to make too much of one's concealment and of one's withdrawal from the sight of men."
"...ponder that which you come to feel is your greatest weakness"
"I do recommend retirement to you, but only that you may use it for greater and more beautiful activities than those which you have resigned..."
