The Tao of Seneca (volumes 1-3) is an introduction to Stoic philosophy through the words of Seneca. If you study Seneca, you'll be in good company. He was popular with the educated elite of the Greco-Roman Empire, but Thomas Jefferson also had Seneca on his bedside table. Thought leaders in Silicon Valley tout the benefits of Stoicism, and NFL management, coaches, and players alike - from teams such as the Patriots and Seahawks - have embraced it because the principles make them better competitors. Stoicism is a no-nonsense philosophical system designed to produce dramatic real-world effects. Think of it as an ideal operating system for thriving in high-stress environments. This is your guide.

Surely the style of the reader will appeal to some listeners more than others. I find the affected, anachronistic style to be a distraction albeit not a fatal one. I am bothered by the obvious and near constant cuts between takes, often mid-sentence, in which the reader suddenly changes markedly in pitch, tone, volume, and pace. Longer cuts, even with the occasional cough or stumble, would be so much better. One would, at least, hope that more attention would be paid to matching the sound of the previous section when recording a new splice to fit in. Nonetheless, essential listening.

John A. Robinson sounds like how I imagine Seneca did. Couldn't ask for a better reading.
