The Myth of Sisyphus, supposedly. But I’m almost done with it and it hasn’t helped much. Though to be fair I have not reached the ‘myth of sisyphus’ section and have only read his descriptions to the absurd and absurd men.

And improve your diet - eat more whole grains, protein, cashews, less fat and sugar, and get supplements for important micronutrients (B12 if veg, Omega-3, zinc, etc). Taking the right mix of supplements and improving my diet doubled my energy without much effort

Stay the fuck away from self-help. Read books that tangentially help you appreciate reality through a good story or by teaching you something.
