Seneca - Moral Letters - 84: On Gathering Ideas
This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
“We ought not to confine ourselves either to writing or to reading”
“the fruits of one's reading may be reduced to concrete form by the pen”
“So it is with the food which nourishes our higher nature, - we should see to it that whatever we have absorbed should not be allowed to remain unchanged, or it will be no part of us. 7. We must digest it; otherwise it will merely enter the memory and not the reasoning power”
“you see how wretched a man's plight is if he who is the object of envy feels envy also”

Thanks again, for the much needed words of wisdom.
More than two thirds done. Great job! Whatever the aural equivalent of drooling is, that's what my ears are doing for the final forty letters. Thank you : )
Thank you for these wonderful readings! Seneca would be proud!

How come your videos aren't monetized if this is your voice and you're reading very old texts? You deserve to make money out of this.

Are you suggesting that he should make money out of someone else's work? After all he's not the man who wrote these letters.
