Any books to cure lazy nihilism? I started with the Greeks and that worked for a month.

sounds like youre just shifting the burden of responsibility for your own life onto something else, since you imply there exists a "cure" or idea that you just haven't come across that will spur you into action along some course, and thats why youre lazy. there isn't. you have everything you need to do something with your life and motivate yourself right now. but you don't because youre a good for nothing piece of shit. how about you fuck right off and stop shitting up my forum with your bullshit, friend

You can't improve yourself, anon. You are the one who gives authority to these Greeks, and so you are relying on yourself for improvement, but you are faulty so you are not up to the task!

1. By starting with the Greeks, we don't mean just philosophy.
2. If you're so into philosophy, nothing addresses nihilism like Epicurus/Lucretius.

3. For me, the myths, all mythology really, helps. Since there is no meaning to life, we are left to choose our own purpose. I love the hero's quest. Life is for fun.

You must've missed Socrates message.
Maybe try the Tao Te Ching. Wu-wei and all that jazz.

>nihilism
nihilism of what? What are you talking about? You can't just be a 'nihilist', because even if someone were to not believe in anything, they would still need to believe in their lack of belief.
