Socialists. Libertarian-socialists writing. You may appreciate the more ecological variety

Japanese asceticism makes some good arguments. I recommend Hojoki and The Narrow Road to the Interior. (Sam Hamill's translation is incredible.)

Mishima's Sun and Steel might work tangentially, though it's mostly about improving one's body. I consider those pursuits to be anti-consumerist though.

Why the fuck? Most people pursue this by purchasing membership in a gym, purchasing bodybuilding powders and then utilizing the newly shaped body to pose on social media for upboats. Ultimately its desirable, because it makes you strong, virile and healthy, but its an extremely commericaliazed field.

>Paying for goods or services that move you towards a goal is the same as consooming.

You are retarded. Go buy funko pops and tell yourself it's the same as paying for a gym membership.
