In "How to Have a Life," James Romm presents a vibrant new translation of Seneca the Younger's essay "On the Shortness of Life," alongside two related letters. This timely exploration addresses the modern concern of how distractions like smartphones and TV can rob us of our precious time. With sharp wit, Seneca critiques our tendency to squander time on trivial pursuits and offers insights on how to live more meaningfully, suggesting that truly embracing life can lead to a form of immortality.
