Not a big Philosphy buff myself.
But I did read
"The Shortness of Life" by Seneca
It's a short(ish) essay in three parts
Some good bits and strangely comforting that humans have always struggled with these thoughts. (He was Roman)
Favourite line
"Live Immediately"
Which I often use to kick myself up the arse
Also i love Shelley's "Rise like Lions" quotation (just that verse) as a motivational tool
