How the fuck do you even need advice for this basic shit? I swear every other person on this board is a disfunctional retard.

> Adopting good habits.
Do them. You don't need people to tell you what these are. You already know if you think about it for two seconds.

> Dropping bad habits.
Don't do them. See above.

> Becoming braver, overcoming fear.
Just do it. No amount of mental gymnastics is going to make you brave. Just do the thing you're afraid of and you'll gradually not be afraid.

> How to sleep better?
Go to bed on time, keep the curtains open so you wake up when the sun rises.

> Nutrition
Don't eat fucking mcdonald's, lay off the sweets.

> Social skills
Don't be a sycophant who is too preoccupied to say what you think others want to hear. Don't be autistic and give people practical advice if they tell you about their emotions.

> Philosophy
Just pick up a book and read it.

> Great advice
Don't be a pussy

There, saved you both time and money.

Reynal, as others have noted, then Manheim probably. You can also buy a Stackpole, if you find it. Content wise, it ought to be the same as the Reynal. Avoid the '38 Paternoster and similar ~280ish page versions, since they are abridged. Similar year Houghton Mifflin should be fine?

Isn't it crazy that you can't find a well curated list of the English translations?

Books about a young man who is fed up with wageslavery and the cube farm life and decides to, as the niggers say, “hit a lick” and perform some illegal activity to make it. I.e. robbery, theft, heists, etc... please send recommendations. Thanks frens
