The Stoic philosopher Seneca wrote 124 letters to his friend Lucilius and reveled in his replies:


"Your letter has given me pleasure, and has roused me from sluggishness."

—Seneca, Letters 74.1


This collection of letters is today one of our best sources of Stoic life advice from ancient Rome.


In this episode, we look at why we should consider writing some letters of our own.
