This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Seneca's work On The Happy Life, and specifically on the mistaken views the many or the crowd have about the nature of human happiness. Seneca notes that when they make and reproduce mistakes, they don't simply affect themselves negatively, but also other people who end up falling into error. He also notes that many elites, particularly those who are superior to other people in terms of wealth, power, or status, are just as prone to these mistaken views on the happy life, and should also be regarded as part of the crowd

Really appreciate this shorter form summary

Then you’re in luck because I have more than 1,000 of them. They’re lectures not summaries though

As always, thank you very much. Long time viewer, and these videos are evergreen. Looking back over the last decade, I see how my engagement with Stoic ideas has shaped my action gradually over time. The thing between our experiences and our reactions is us! Keep it up, prof
