What are some books about finding/creating a purpose in life? I don't mean books about having to find/create a purpose in life, I mean about how to actually go about doing it.

You niggers really ought to read Nietzsche before making these self-placating threads

"Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl, a psychologist who had first-hand experience as a prisoner of Auschwitz. Frankl recounts his experience, his observations of others' experiences, and his conclusions. His conclusions are used as a basis of creating a psychological theory of existence and a new model of therapy. Frankl then explains what "logotherapy" is, and how it teaches the individual about how to find/create meaning/purpose in life.

I'm so fucking tired of Nietzsche niggers shitting up this board. There exists other writers and philosophers. If you wish to discuss Nietzsche, take it to one of the many Nietzsche threads that are always up on /lit/.

>I wouldn't make a good parent.
The very fact that you think this shows you'd make a better parent than 90% of those that have children.
