check it out.

Also now im reading Ernesto Sabato's "antes del fin". Is cool, maybe you like it, he was a PHD in pysics, (also worked in thermodynamics), and eventually he got sick of it all, and got into arts because is the only thing that could "cure him".

Babby's first existential crisis. It's funny; you really only see this kind of arrogance and apathy in first world countries. Glubb was right, we really are living in the Age of Decadence.

Maybe if you stopped thinking about yourself and your own happiness, your life would have some meaning. Do something for your family or others for a change. Philanthropy usually curbs depression.

Here you go OP

It's just a term used when someone freaks the fuck out because their preconceived notion of the way the universe works doesn't work so much anymore.

Main point is, it's better to have a plan than no plan at all.

Basically it says in order to not feel any anxiety for the moment your life here on earth ends (and when it happens) you need to make up a plan in life, which fits you, so that you'll think that from the moment you adopted the plan you did everything you could possible do to live according to it and can therefor die in peace, without regretting anything.

The author advocates stoicism since he think it works for him, but he also says it's up to you to find something in life that works for you.

Think what kind of goal in your life you want to pursue, chart in pic may help, make a plan for it and follow it.

Is this accurate? Would recommend any changes or additions to the recommended reading list?

Take your pick, OP.
