Any books on how to fix this? I want to be a man of action like Napoleon but instead I'm a weak pussy who trembles at the thought of social disgrace.

Napoleon ultimately failed, and died an exile. I don't see why people idolize him. No book will make you less of a pussy, and thinking you can read your way out of this is just another manifestation of your life of inaction.

No book can save you its a simple matter of are you going to change it with your will or just read about doing it in a book. Best of luck to you and may god have mercy on your soul.

yea he ultimately became a coping christcuk on his little island.

OP i think that the fact that you can articulate your problem means you already know the solution. Whenever you feel bogged down with indecision just remember that other people's opinions mean nothing and then just go do what you thing is best.

napoleon was chosen by the remarkable time he lived in, it wasn't a question of personal motivation. napoleon now would end up a middling bureaucrat

Read Being and Nothingness. I thought it was a nice diagnosis of the ways other people can steal you from yourself
