Invaluable Collection with Smaller Texts Too

Most people interested in this area of ancient literature know the Meditations, probably the most popular book outside the Bible. And Seneca’s Letters from a Stoic are pretty well known and have stood the test of time, so the offer a critique of those in the 21st Century would be kind of ridiculous. The Discourses of Epictetus (slave turned philosopher) is lesser known and of interest as it influenced Marcus Aurelius, so there is an evolution of thought there.
The Enchiridion is fragmentary and full of lots of bits of wisdom. Overall enjoyable to listen to. The Shortness of life by Seneca is much lighter than his Letters for a Stoic and is a very practice guide, so applicable today, proving that people have not changed that much in 2000 years (except the were probably a lot smarter).
