On the Shortness of Life: Life is Long if You Know How to Use It presents a lucid Stoic meditation on time. By Seneca, originally published in 49, it addresses choice, attention, and purpose.

Readers gain calm perspective on mortality, distraction, and the art of directing attention. Seneca argues that time becomes abundant through disciplined choices, reflection, and study of Stoicism. Clear, aphoristic prose offers practical counsel on purpose, priorities, and humane time management.

A concise classic for modern readers seeking durable guidance on living well.
