Seneca - Moral Letters - 80: On Worldly Deceptions

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
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:
“How many men, I say to myself, train their bodies, and how few train their minds!”
“if the body can be trained to such a degree of endurance that it will stand the blows and kicks of several opponents at once…how much more easily might the mind be toughened so that it could receive the blows of Fortune and not be conquered?”
“…you can acquire virtue without equipment and without expense. All that goes to make you a good man lies within yourself.”
“If you wish to set a value on yourself, put away your money, your estates, your honours, and look into your own soul. At present, you are taking the word of others for what you are.”

"Taking the word of others for what you are". I needed that long ago.

You had me in the first minute. I need more exposure to these Godfathers of Stoic philosophy.
