Hi advice anons. Im looking for books, writers, philosophers who have an extremely honest and productive view on lifestyle and how to live your life so you can say to yourself at the end of it you were content with it all. All Ive found so far are cringey self help books but would love something a bit more intellectually deep. Thank you.

Ill give him a read. Tend to find absurdities in modern life mostly depressing so this might be a good way to flip that perspective.

The distinction between subjective and objective at an experiential level is an empistemological question that cannot be answered fully. Though the most commonly accepted answer, and the one I choose to live by is:

Every experience is a subjective interpretation. There is an external reality with which your interpretations either align or misalign with. This does not mean alignment = objectivity, as an interpretation takes the only logical form it can have within a subject. They are subjective, and will never fully be reality. Essentially; phenomena =/= noumena
