What book should I start to read right now to have the best possible positive impact on my life?
>no Bible or similar meme answers pls
I am profoundly unhappy and dissatisfied with studies, work, marriage, and life, and I fear I might one day soon decide to everything give up.

Get a divorce and then see what happens

Read Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Scholar, Nature) or the 1855 Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass.

Good luck, I am in your place too

Read a workout and diet book.
If you havent noticed the synchronicity of enlightenment, then you probably shouldn't waste your time on the higher level books other anons might recommend.
Exercise and diet will have a big impact.
Roll play as a sim and practice hygiene and be aware of your posture and dont mumble so much.

Find a direction you want to go in. This blank slate request can only lead to vague self help books.
You chemistry is out of whack, so try to eat right and exercise some, but get your mind working on what you WANT to do.

It is average among all but the worst shitholes of sexual degeneracy and whoredom. Marriage is better than living like a wild animal, copulating with anyone who is willing

Single is not the opposite of married. But if a third of people in that age group are celibate, I find it hard to believe the other two thirds are all married. Obviously there is more range of lifestyle, without even pulling any data

fuck this reposted verbatim demotivating faggot shit pussy thread. GOd damnit I wish you worms were raised by Men. You need to be fucking slapped in the mouth. Go read Epictetus today and get with the fucking program (Gods program, natures program, THE program).
Life is a rolling cart. You are a dog that is tied to it. Your free will exists only in your choice to trot alongside or be dragged. The destination is the same.

It's not necessarily a term. I just used it as a descriptor. If you dont understand it, then dont worry about it.

Maybe you should try going on long walks. A lot of great thinkers swore that walking was an important part of their practice. It allows you to meditate.

Why do unhappy people mumble so much? Talking about my personal experience, it’s like I can barely muster the will to pronounce things clearly and at a regular speed, so I default to a slow mumble that only goes away on precious occasions where the conversation gets me excited and I ended up doing the opposite - talking clearly and stringing concepts so fast people have trouble following me.
