Are there some good books about productivity?
I'm unsatisfied from the results of the last two weeks of work. Some guiding literature could certainly help. Otherwise just drop some Self-Help recommendations in the thread, I'm getting back into this stuff and it's quite comfy. Not sure thou when I should drop it and switch to greek philosophy.

You're /lit/. You feel plebeian reading self-help. You need a philosophy of self-creation through practice.

Just started it, it's about how man is a self-creating animal. Jung called man homo religiosus--Sloterdijk calls man homo immunologicus. It belongs to animals to have immune systems, ways of adapting, of self-transcending and growing into an unknown and potentially hostile world. Culture, according to Sloterdijk, is a symbolic immune system. It is a kind of practice or discipline that calls us to be better. For him the division of the world into the powerful and powerless is "leftist kitsch." Rather, the great division is between those who practice and those who don't.

It's quite motivating. Let no one tell you "get off your ass!" has to be Grug.

Not him. I'm here because I'm addicted to maturbation and so nothing else

All I do is watch porn and masturbate and post here to get away from it. It's gotten worse in terms of frequency and losing my brain year by year. Kant was right that this makes you a slave.
