The Foundation of Buddhism by Rupert Gethin

General advice:
Prologue: A book won’t change your life only direct action will change your life. Also don’t try to do everything all at once or perfectly. Start with the smallest, quickest, easiest thing you can do comfortably and gradually building up your mental strength.


Clean up your diet: Very important eat more protein eat more vegetables cut out the worst stuff in your diet soda ice creams, alcohol, fast food, and etc. You don’t have to start a crazy diet but just start slowly weening yourself off processed foods.

Get some vitamin D3: it’s probably winter time where you live so get some vitamin D3 + K https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Vitamin-D-3-000-Softgels/dp/B0032BH76O/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=29C9ZPZJKOHUH&keywords=vitamin+d3&qid=1642722582&sprefix=vit%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-6

Also get some Omega-3:

Get a journal: just let it all out on the pages Anon. Everyday just record how you felt that day. Takes maybe five minutes

Get a part time job: This is probably going to be the hardest one for you but try to get any part time retail job working a few days a week. It sucks I know but it actually will make you feel better and put some money in your pocket. You don’t have to have great social skills or anything just try to take a real interest in your coworkers and try to the best you can be. Apply to go back to school if you haven’t graduated and it’s feasible for you.

Final thoughts. Just try to keep an open mind about who you are and who you want to be. We are the sum of our actions. Every small positive action you take is a vote for the person you want to be. Again don’t get stressed out go at your own pace as long as you are moving forward. Don’t hyper fixate on your goals. You should try to be happy now seeing positive changes in your daily life. I wish you well Anon.

Better quit the internet entirely before any extremist group gets to you.

>Start with the Greeks
I feel sad when I think about all the nascent readers like OP who hear this and go throw themselves at the dryest, most esoteric classical bullshit they can find, don't understand a word of it, come to the conclusion they are retarded, and go back to their vidya games.
Read what you enjoy, OP. If you want a specific suggestion, start with 100 Years of Solitude.

>The Decline of the West
Overrated
>Industrial Society and Its Future
Overrated, Heidegger’s take on Technology is better.

Never read

The status quo is unending war and eternal conflict. Rebellion for the sake of rebellion ultimately affirms the status quo and eventually becomes it. Doomerism is the new boomerism, both see no exit. To seek the exit is to see beyond the horizon of endless war, to have exited is to be beyond it as much as possible. This position is dangerous in that it always assumes mutual good feels unless proven otherwise, and is forgiving as it is always prepared to give second chances. Some would call this foolishness in the conditions of the present, but the bloomer cannot but help but to attract and be attracted to other bloomers who operate on the same terms, and together form oases of good feels and deeds in the desert of endless war.

Can we have more green pill recommendations
