QRD: my older brother is almost 30 and he’s a shocking disappointment. He never follows through with anything, quits minimum wage jobs 6 months in after his bosses are “mean to him”, alienates everybody in his life, and is always scraping by because he blows what little money he has on literal toys and retarded hobbies. He’s the stereotypical victim millennial.

In all truth I care very little for him, live thousands of kilometres away, and haven’t even spoken to him in years (my mum insists of giving me updates about him) but I feel that it would only be right to extent him one final act of brotherly kindness. I want to anonymously send him a book. Just one book. He probably won’t even read it, but at least I can rest easy with the knowledge that I tried to help. I was maybe thinking “Travels with Epicurus” by Daniel Klein, which would hopefully set him down the path of mindful living? I’m really at a loss. Do any of you have any suggestions?
