Unironically solved a small part of my depression. Camus truly was a benevolent whitepiller of sorts...

i think the topic of suicide is indeed a core problem of philosophy, but i can very easily imagine sisyphus unhappy.

>everything sucks and is pointless but you should be happy anyway
yawn

I never understood why people find this encouraging. We're demented flawed creatures who need to be busy constantly to avoid confronting our own meaningless and miserable lives, so engage in said business and rejoice for it?

I think OP means it as an epic troll to get depressed people to read Myth of Sisyphus. My recommendation for real white pill is Tristram Shandy

How could this be a whitepill if even the cover itself is terrifyingly depressing?

I think so too, and it is the only thing I look for in the philosophy that I read.
So far I like Schopenhauers ideas the most. His essay 'on suicide' is sehr short and worth a read. Basically, he convinced me that if I want to kill myself the only respectable way to do so is by starvation.

Hard to get into without getting too personal. The idea that I could try to cultivate virtue and be happy because of it was beautiful to me. I spent a long time looking for answers about what it meant to live well in psychology, and then I opened this book and they were right in front of me.

Got this a while ago, and now I decided to read it before Spinoza. It better be good.
