Douglas Coupland writes about this. But Anon, you're young-- direction and goals will appear, but worrying about it will delay the process.

I would also like to recommend Bookchin, but that is nudging you in a direction I make champion. You’re free to live as you like of course

I went Epicurus, Stirner, Nietzsche.
It’s a starting point, like western Taoism.

Are you trying to tell me you really have no goals? Really? If so you are just an imbecile, and a book about you probably wouldn't be very interesting. Now of course it's another thing to feel like one's goals are permanently out of one's reach. But even the desire to have a goal provides one with a goal.
