Seneca: The Stoic Billionaire Who Advised a Mad Emperor

He was the richest philosopher in history — and the tutor of a mad emperor. Discover the shocking true story of Seneca the Younger: the Stoic billionaire who ran the Roman Empire behind the throne of Nero, wrote the most life-changing letters ever penned, and met his end with legendary calm. Was Seneca a hypocrite for preaching simplicity while living in luxury? Or was he the ultimate proof that Stoicism works in the real world — in the middle of money, power, and danger? This cinematic documentary breaks down his rise from a sickly provincial boy to the most powerful man in Rome, his golden years advising Nero, his terrifying fall from favor, and the Stoic death that proved he meant every word. You will learn Seneca's four most powerful lessons for modern life: how to stop wasting time, how to control what you can and release what you cannot, how to master wealth instead of serving it, and how to use the memory of death as a tool for truly living.
