/rsi/—real self-improvement

[Anonymous No.18972832]

ONLY valuable books that have helped you improve yourself.
recently i've found these good:
+ the i ching (wilhelm's version with the carl jung foreword). something about the presentation of everything in terms of becoming instead of being is good for focusing me in the moment.
+ meditations (duh). most of the advice here is pretty effective.
+ the philokalia (kallistos ware's version, the four-volume set). a gem i've just recently learned about. good counterpoise to something like the i ching, although this has a heavy focus on becoming-and-not-being as well.

Unironically the Easy Peasy Method, I've been able to take back some time that would otherwise be spent, well, you know
Reading Montaigne's essays has given me some perspective and advice on what to do with all the knowledge I get from reading. In his view, it's not the the accumulation of knowledge that has value, but our thinking that follows from it and the virtue we can gain through genuine introspection.
