I recommend no books, but action. Find a career, join a gym and go there every other day without fail, on your rest days you can read books. Try to forget about women until you're happy with yourself.

Then now is the time re-examine and determine why you are miserable, and direct your efforts towards that. Imagine if you were sitting just as you are now, only fat and disgusting. You have improved mate, give yourself some credit and keep improving

Also, stop watching anime, no self respecting man should spend their time looking at Japanese cartoons of children. You may say you enjoy it but that is irrelevant. I quite enjoy drinking and smoking weed instead of lifting heavy objects and putting them back down after a day's work of also lifting heavy objects and putting them back down, give up the things you enjoy now to obtain the things you want later

There aren't any gyms open where I live so I can't lift weights. What gear do I need to pull it off in my house?

[Anonymous No.16521160]

do some pushups right now. when that gets too easy, go to the local park and kick all the kids off the monkeybars so you can do pullups.

Run laps outside in mean time, do bodyweight exercises. I know it's disheartening without weights and the setting of the gym, I feel the same mate, but it's still physical activity in the meantime, and will still be an improvement.
Depending on your budget you should start with a set of dumbbells. You can work your chest with these (most people assume you can't, myself included) without a bench, just lay on the floor and do a dumbbell press with extra weight. If/when you can afford it, get an EZ curl bar, they're great for all types of exercises. That's really all your need to make good progress. If you need more you can always get something like an ab roller, a pull up bar that hooks on to your doorframe without needing screws etc.

Anyone who doesn't learn to, and actively drive by age 20 shouldn't be allowed to operate a vehicle the rest of their lives. If there is a class of people I hate, it is late licence getters. They're usually painfully stupid and not worthy of my attention ot consideration.

Didn't start learning till I was 22, took to it like a fish to water. Average age for getting a full license in my country (UK) is 27. Sometimes people have other priorities, or just didn't have the push they needed. I lived on my own in the city centre and already had a gf, got lifts to work which didn't inconvenience the guy at all. Still regret not starting younger but better late than never

Back injuries are brutal yeah. Do some physical therapy, stretch, sleep on the floor etc. Use the time in some other way, were already on /lit/ or I'd tell you to read books but you can still train the mind in other ways while you recover

The non hippocampal neuroplasticity ends by then meaning your hand eye coordinate sucks. Unless you say around playing realistic racecar games the entire time, you're driving ability and ability to react is shit tier. I began driving when I was 14 and average 20k miles a year. Never have been in an accident once. You're a road hazard compared to early starters.
