Many listeners have written in expressing difficulty in accepting death and reframing it as the Stoics framed it. So, in today's episode, I speak with Professor of Classics at Bard University and author of "How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life" and "Dying Every Day, Seneca at the Court of Nero." During our conversation, James shares much about Seneca's life with me, and much about why overcoming death is critical to living a good life. We also discuss the concept of "dying well."
