This book is very short and sweet. It gives a quick view of Seneca's life, including his run ins with the Emperor, Nero, who he tutored. (His lessons didn't seem to affect Nero or his temper very much!) Showing his life and the hard times such as when he was accused of being a traitor helps to lead up to the later chapters that talk about the lessons and ideas of stoicism. It really helps you to learn where those life lessons developed. I think this books lessons can help you through a few tough problems in your life. I'd definitely say that middle school or high school students should read this so that the lessons may stay with them for the rest of their lives.
