Seneca on Pleasure and Joy

<p>Today’s episode is an excerpt from <a href="https://geni.us/JtrHgc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Tao Of Seneca</a> produced by Tim Ferriss’ Audio. In this letter Seneca writes about his wish to know why is it that we keep doing things that are not good for us, even when we ought to know better, he contrasts transitory pleasures with a more mature and lasting joy, and he lists a number of “preferred indifferents,” meaning things that can reasonably be pursued, but that do not make us better human beings.
