Any books that make you better at establishing your will, being proactive, being creative, rather than being a passive spectator of life? Other than Nietzsche.

Orgy of the Will

>351. How To Be Successful. An eBook by Alex Kierkegaard. Chapter 1: If you have to ask you never will be, because real success (as opposed to the fake, financial and social kind that the self-help gurus are peddling) comes from within, not from without, and hence "success" is the one thing that no one can teach you, but precisely what, by succeeding, you will end up teaching others. The End.

BAP's podcast unironically gives me energy.

As for classical literature, just read the great epic poems, specially Homer, Virgil and Camoens. Also Cellini's Life. Satyricon. Catullus. Byron. Whitman. I'd recommend Shakespeare and Melville too, but these end with everyone dying, so maybe not the best incentive.
