"Com uma linguagem leve, lúcida e atraente, neste texto Sêneca ensina como examinar os temas práticos da vida, sobretudo um dos mais cruciais da atualidade: o tempo. Sua atenção concentra-se na velocidade com que a vida humana passa, enfatizando o fato de que o problema não é a falta, mas sim como nosso tempo é empregado. Devemos não só reservar tempo para nós mesmos, mas sobretudo evitar toda dispersão fútil e enganosa da vida, cuidando do tempo presente e vivendo o agora. Ao mesmo tempo, o filósofo destaca a importância da prática do bem e das virtudes, bem como o papel da filosofia, que nos ensina a viver de modo correto e nos fornece os elementos para uma análise crítica do mundo."
