Books for overcoming hedonism

[Anonymous No.13008310]

I have become a slave to sensation. How do I break out of the hedonist trap? All I do is eat, shit, sleep, jerk off and browse Youtube and this shithole website. I constantly crave crass stimulation - I have ceased to be a personality anymore and am now merely an accumulation of nerve endings. Help me find a way to becoming a person again.

If you say the Bible without being specific I'm going to burgle your house.

>the people in this thread sugesting a wage-slave level jobs as alternatives
If that is a proper life, I choose death.
That patch will only make you numb and give you a bad reason to wake up in the morning and force you into bed. Tell me, have you ever, on a off day, wanted to just waltz in the office, sit on that cubicle and type away your free time?
My take on the subject. Go jogging around your town's natural areas. Parks, forests, mountains, beaches. Any place outside of your usual dailly routine. While you are at it, try a new place to have a lunch, talk to people, read a book outside. The change of scenario will do wonders.

willpower. just do it. will comes from nowhere, but it can be acquired by anyone. impose your will on yourself and have discipline

[Anonymous No.13009827]

>>13008310
Forget about willpower, it's bullshit. Willpower is what you do to not break when facing aversity, not when facing yourself. The magic sauce is breaking out of comfort zone. Set yourself up to be way out of it. Popular options:
- Women: travel to india to "find yourself" (ie get raped there)
- Men: enlist military
Truth is the meme works. Abandon everything that comforts you. Burn the bridge, and swim or sink, otherwise you'll just rot away.

The solutions is more hedonism, do what you want to do. If being lazy makes you feel bad, then stop being lazy.

>How do I break out of the hedonist trap?
You don't, every single action in your life that you consciously take is in some way hedonistic since you commit it because you think it's a superior choice, i.e. you do it to please yourself

>implying working night shift security isn't the most /lit/ way to live
I sit in empty buildings, read whatever takes my fancy, write constantly, and get paid for it. You dont have to slave your life away to get a paycheck. If you're a NEET you already know how to work the system, use it to your advantage and make enough money to do more than survive. If you've got a pulse and can stand for 30 minutes you're already over qualified.

That's an OVER qualification my guy. Seriously, you should see some of the dudes who dude night time security. It's mostly pensioners, burn-outs, and black women. A few former NEETs and very rarely some college kids pick it up. I did it for a few months when I got out of the service before I found a good 9-5, but I realized I was killing myself and completely unhappy. Remembered that I used to play vidya at my old job and nobody gave a shit, so now I'm trying to follow my dream of being a writer and my company is basically footing the bill. I would seriously reccomend it to anybody who needs some cash and a real laid back job. Just make sure you stay unarmed or your ass will end up in the ghetto running after crack heads.

Start with the sapiential books to sort out your life and then go to the NT. The secret is not doing things for yourself, but for God. Your love for him must be higher than everything, even your own life. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so the damage you do to it desecrates the sacred abode.

Depends on the state/country, but nearly every company will train you and get you certified. IIRC in my state you can work for 30 days without a cert.
