Seneca - Moral Letters - 86: On Scipio's Villa

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:
“Cato: ‘It is my wish, not to infringe in the least upon our laws, or upon our customs; let all Roman citizens have equal rights. O my country, make the most of the good that I have done, but without me. I have been the cause of your freedom, and I shall also be its proof; I go into exile, if it is true that I have grown beyond what is to your advantage!’
- What can I do but admire this magnanimity, which led him to withdraw into voluntary exile and to relieve the state of its burden?”
“Vergil sought, however, not what was nearest to the truth, but what was most appropriate, and aimed, not to teach the farmer, but to please the reader”

Everytime you put up a video I feel as if Seneca has written to me and I have just received his letter, thank you.

I won't be bombarding you with all the recommendation for new audiobooks but what I want you to make are as follows 1. Discourses of Epictetus 2. Carl Jung ( please make us step into the Jungian psychology of subconscious and try your best to keep us updated with new Jungian books) Also please continue on with Letters from Stoic after that please try to cover Jungian psychology too!
