Seneca - Moral Letters - 89: On the Parts of Philosophy
This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
“For over-analysis is faulty in precisely the same way as no
analysis at all”
“Wisdom is the perfect good of the human mind; philosophy is the
love of wisdom, and the endeavour to attain it”
“[People have referred to philosophy as] a study of the way to
amend the mind”
“For over-analysis is faulty in precisely the same way as no
analysis at all;”
“If any of these three be defective (value, impulse, action], there is
confusion in the rest also. For what benefit is there in having all
things appraised, each in its proper relations, if you go to excess in
your impulses? What benefit is there in having checked your
impulses [and desires], if when you come to action you [do not
know] how each action should be carried out?...Hence life is in
harmony with itself only when action has not deserted impulse,
and when impulse toward an object arises in each case from the
worth of the object...”
“Hence life is in
harmony with itself only when action has not
deserted impulse,
and when impulse toward an object arises in
each case from the
worth of the object”
