Seneca the Philosopher
Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright who lived from approximately 4 BCE to 65 CE. He emphasized the importance of living a virtuous life, practicing self-control, and focusing on what is within our control. Seneca believed that true happiness comes from inner tranquility and rational thought, rather than external success or wealth. His writings offer practical advice on managing emotions, adversity, and ethical living, making Stoic principles accessible and relevant for personal development. His work continues to inspire those seeking wisdom and emotional resilience.
