My dad had me read this book when I began high school. He also ensured I became interested in history. Again, I love this channel. It has truly helped stay calm in such dfficult times (husband having had 🫁 transplant) in my life.
@@ASMR_Historian I read it in Spanish, so I truly felt like Lucío Séneca was reading it to me. He was Hispanic (ie. from Hispania), so I'm almost sure his _sermo vulgaris_ (ie. informal speech) was closer to the Iberian languages.
Video suggestion: The life of Ovid and their influence on later literature and culture I really think Ovid does not get enough recognition for his impact on courtly and chivalric romantic themes (among many others) in literature. The guy is a cultural cornerstone
That is one of the next readings coming up! So much on my list to do. As to the stoics, the more I look into it, the more I discover, each new text I make a cursory glance at makes me think it is as essential as the last. It never ends, and that is a good thing.
@@ASMR_Historian Meditations was the first Stoic text I read and it is incredible, but I actually think the Enchiridion of Epictetus might be better. Seneca's Letters are also great, I just always struggled a bit with Seneca because he didn't always practice what he preached
Spoiling us every day, thankyou so much
He's not only the best ASMRist, he is also the best Historian, no ads, no filler: The HERO we need ❤
watching ASMR Historian videos is time well wasted
Seneca , one of the greatest ever

Your dad has good taste, this kind of material should be taught in schools.

Yes, Ovid is often overlooked. I will try to get some information on him and put something together.
You really do work hard on this channel. Thank you!
My pleasure!

I know history is your thing, but after this one I'd love to hear you go through Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Best book I've ever read

13 minutes in and I feel like Seneca's been scolding me for having wasted my life. 😞 Does it get better?
In my experience, it doesn't get better, but you do get stronger.
Awesome!!!!!!
The voice-over reminds me of the voice in the "Michael Jackson's Thriller".
