God I hate fucking people who read/write books like this. You have to genuinely be retarded to need a book to tell you these things.

Let me tl;dr literally every book like this

>Try and improve yourself. Get a hobby. Learn skills.
>Don't let outside things affect you
>Eat a balanced diet, have a normal sleep schedule
>Try to be a good person, but know what you want and don't let people walk over you

t. uncultured swine

I have read more books than you m8, I can guarantee you that. I just don't read pseudo-intellectual drivel.

To be honest a book on psychology to understand why humans act ways. Then a nice philosophy book, coupled with religious text your third eye will be opened. #WOKE

>Sun and Steel is some shitty self-help book
Read a book nigger

King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is decent if you still require the Jungian cope. Everything by Evola and Guenon if you don't.

Read The Power Of Now, Watch every Frank Yang video and meditate daily.

>This man has good lessons. This man gay man kill himself but fit make art. Want to be like this man. Good life.

Camus - The Stranger
Hesse - Siddartha
Schopenhauer's aphorisms

I've tried to read Meditatons but i couldn't understand it for shit. Maybe because i've got some archaic translation from early 19's, or maybe i'm just a brainlet. Is there anything else from antic philosophy that i should read first to ease me into it?

Learn Latin and then read the original

I want to get into Mishima's work. Which books of his are a great place to start?
Also why the fuck is sun & steel sold for like 500 bucks??

It was written in greek, retard.

Based

The Gregory Hayes translation of meditations is easiest to understand.

What sort of mental health gains can stop me wanting to end it all every second of every day when I'm a complete physical wreck and unemployed while turning 22 in a few days? I graduated uni a few months back and I've been living at home while applying for jobs since then, but there's literally not a single moment I'm not aching in some way or another and it fucking sucks
>born three months early
>survived but kept a ton of physical bullshit
>asthma
>Raynaud's
>hypotonia
>hypermobility
>partly undeveloped lungs
>fractured my spine last year when I tried to fix some of this shit by lifting, resulting in back pain and a lifelong ban from running, martial arts and most exercises
>some sort of nerve issue as my right shoulder blade gets tingly, and ring and pinky fingers go fairly numb in the bath
>anxiety and depression, haven't felt any sense of accomplishment since childhood, can never stop being tense or live in the moment at all
>even when I'm not worrying about something, my heart is always beating fast
>constantly tired, have had to put physical effort into sitting up in a chair since childhood, have never really been able to sit up without back support
I just fucking hate my life so much

>I have no idea what I'm talking about, yet I'm talking anyway.

Try reading the fucking book or at least the Wiki on it first, you goddamn moron.

There's literally nothing contextual. The first book is a bunch of dedications to important people in Aurelius' life, the rest is just assorted scribbles, mostly before bedtime, when he was on military campaigns. There's no sustained philosophical argument or line of thought, it's just a bunch of personal musings that were never meant for publication.
Aurelius wrote it in Greek

It's also the only one that gets it.
Meditations is simply put Marcus psyching himself up, and nothing like that flowery King James bullshit.

meat for

A lot of tardfarms who translate old texts intentionally use old language to keep that antiquated feel.

The best modern translate of Meditations is by Martin Hammond.

do you smoke / drink / drink coffee? if so stop all three of those and your heart should relax
