Description

Seneca: Selected LettersSeneca's letters to his friend Lucilius are powerful moral essays that also yield illuminating insight into Seneca's personal life and the truly turbulent times in which he lived. One of the great Stoic philosophers, Seneca here guides Lucilius' struggle to achieve wisdom and serenity, uninfluenced by worldly emotions. He advises his friend on how to do without what is superfluous, whether in terms of happiness, riches, reputation, or the emotions.

Seneca's letters to his friend Lucilius are powerful moral essays that also yield illuminating insight into Seneca's personal life and the truly turbulent times in which he lived. One of the great Stoic philosophers, Seneca here guides Lucilius' struggle to achieve wisdom and serenity, uninfluenced by worldly emotions. He advises his friend on how to do without what is superfluous, whether in terms of happiness, riches, reputation, or the emotions. The letters include literary discussions, moral exhortation, exemplary heroes and episodes from Roman history, and a lurid picture of contemporary luxury. And under Nero's chaotic reign, the topic of death is never far away. This marvelous new translation by eminent scholar Elaine Fantham offers the largest selection of Seneca's letters currently available. Fantham's invaluable introduction discusses Seneca's family and political career, his many and varied writings, the nature of the letters as genuine epistles or fiction, their philosophical concerns, and other social and cultural aspects. Short head-notes to each letter summarize its themes and parallels with other letters, opening a window on to Seneca's world.

Works well
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
My doctor encouraged my use of this product to lower my cholesterol. Okay, months later, no difference with cholesterol, but the produce makes elimination very very clean and I like that, so I still use this product.

Helps me a lot
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
Psyllium husk is a very necessary supplement and increases my daily fiber intake. It helps me use the bathroom consistently as it makes my bowel movements more regular. The taste of this is similar to orange juice and does not have a lot of sugar. I like putting this in my water every day. It is very easy to use and just dissolves in liquid. This large container will last me for over a month so it’s a great value for the money.

“My Everyday Essential: Nourishment for Skin, Health & Wellness”
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Viva Naturals pure coconut oil every day, and it has truly transformed my routine. I love all things natural, and I use this oil in so many ways that it has become indispensable. I take three baths a day and then rub it all over my body; my skin has never felt so soft and hydrated. In the mornings, I take a big tablespoon on an empty stomach, and sometimes I mix it into my smoothies with flaxseed and almond milk. I feel lighter, more energetic, and I know I’m taking care of my health from the inside out. For me, there’s nothing like pure coconut oil: it’s versatile, natural, and truly wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy product for their skin and daily wellness.H

Ingredient for Bulletproof coffee, good stuff!
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Bulletproof Coffee. Dave Asprey. Look it up. This isn't his MCT oil, which I'm sure is spectacularly better, but I'll use the Pareto principle (80-20 Rule) and settle for a much less expensive version for a slightly lowered benefit. Perhaps I'll upgrade when I'm more of a genius and fabulously wealthy... ;) So, I put this in my morning protein smoothie, which I make cold with pre-brewed coffee that is chilled... Wait, what is MCT Oil? Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil. Basically, it is specially refined coconut oil, where they isolate only the MCT portion of the oil. I'll let you look up why medium chain triglycerides are fantastic. But they ARE fantastic! Worth the read. So what does it do? Dave would say it is brain- fuel. Since our brains are made up mostly of fat, our brain naturally wants (healthy) fats for food. And MCT is some of the best possible oil/fat for that purpose. Plus, MCT has a benefit of being self-preserving, unlike many oils which go rancid (or oxidize) rapidly. Rancid oils are actually sort of toxic, in that they start to have damaging effects instead of beneficial ones. Kind of like the difference between eating a nice juicy steak...or 3 day old roadkill. And yes, I think that's an accurate analogy. How did it work for me? Well, true enough, with the coffee and protein, I do have clear-headed mornings, and I feel energized (provided I get enough sleep the night before!). I have noticed that I don't seem to be hungry as early, and I attribute that to the "full" or satiation effect of the oil. Fats satisfy our hunger needs, because they are valuable to the body. (Even bad fats satisfy, but it's not good for us). Will I buy this again? Absolutely. Probably have a bottle of this in my pantry forever now. And I also have virgin organic cold-pressed (I think) coconut oil as well, which I use for cooking, eating (straight), and use on my skin. MCT Oil is for eating (drinking) in my smoothie, as brain fuel. I've never used Viva Labs before, but happy with them, and will be alert if they have other products I want. The bottle is high quality, and the cap stays tightly closed. Very pleased overall, everything is positive. Glad I chose them for this, and glad this does what I got it for! Taste is faint, not very strong anything. Texture is like a thin mineral oil (viscosity if you want to be technical). As a side note, if I needed a lubricant for the bedroom, I would grab this before the unrefined coconut oil. Not sure how it works with condoms, have not used this with them, so if you are relying on them and this, do your homework on compatibility...might eat some kinds or others.

it checks every box for clean, high-quality nutrition.
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The oil itself is completely flavorless, which makes it perfect for adding to my morning coffee, smoothies, or even drizzling over meals. It blends smoothly and gives me a steady, sustained boost without any jitters or crashes. The 32 fl oz size is also a great value and lasts a long time. If you’re looking for a pure, reliable MCT oil to support focus, energy, or a keto lifestyle, this one is a winner. I Highly recommended!
