This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Happy Life
It focuses specifically on his claim that "virtue is its own reward". The Stoics (among others) maintain that virtue is both necessary and sufficient for human happiness, and that nothing else is as valuable as virtue.
