I read it a few times, quite recently in fact. It's good, especially useful when you need some distance to and from life to enjoy it. You might enjoy going through Dialogues by Seneca as a followup of sorts, but I have no idea about translations.
That is on my reading list. I also have “How to Keep Your Cool: An Ancient Guide to Anger Management” in my desk at work, which is selected from Seneca’s “On Anger” essay. Plus it has a funny picture on the cover, which is good for looking at and giggling instead of cussing.

She seemed... okay but he hit on my wife by calling her a prude in front of a group of mutual friends (they were on a "break") and then called her on my home phone at my house to convince her to break up with me. When it didn't work he convinced everyone else to not call her until she kicked me to the curb. That was seventeen years ago.
