Freud this, Jung that... enough with that.
Give me the best psychology books, some stuff that will blow my mind. I want some life changing stuff (no self-help, no meme books). What are the psychology classics?
btw I just bought Kohut' self psychology book, have you read it?
Also I would deeply appreciate if some of you is a psychologist and could tell me their experience about studying/working.

This unironically describes every work of Jung. Start with "Two Essays".

Albert Bandura: Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory (1986)

James J. Gibson: The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception (1979)

I recommend starting with B. F. Skinner, ignore Chomsky's "critique" of Verbal Behavior (1957).

If you're interested in the actual science of psychology more than the theory read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Kahneman to get a good idea of where the field is at now.

I have. It's trash.

It only plays a minor role. It's by no means the central motive of people in every day life.

Any parts of this kiked field which aren't made up nonsense about power dynamics and sexual selfs or whatever are basically just philosophy 101
Read the Greeks. Any of them are more worthwhile than these kikes and their loyal dogs.

I've read the Greeks, nothing wrong with reading some modern psychology imo. I stand for tradition but sometimes you have to look at what's new.
