Você não está sem tempo! Está desperdiçando a vida | Sêneca (Ep. 01)

In this second episode of our series on Stoicism, we delve into the thought of one of its greatest exponents: Seneca. How can we maintain calm amidst chaos? How should we face the brevity of life so as not to waste it? Do you feel that life is passing by too quickly and that, at the end of the day, you haven't done anything that really mattered? Seneca, 2,000 years ago, already knew why: the problem isn't that we have little time, it's that we waste most of it. In this second video of our series on Stoicism, we explore the treatise 'On the Shortness of Life'. Let's calculate together how much of your existence has been 'stolen' by useless worries, vices, and the opinions of others, and how you can start truly living today. Seneca offers us not only theory, but a practical manual for life. Let's understand how his philosophy can help us build a truly unshakable mind today.
