Pic related. What philosopher(s) offer a more positive outlook? Not in the best place currently, and this image made me feel good. No nu-“intellectuals” such as the subtle art of not giving a frick guy, millennial “self help” is trash

The most important piece of self-help literature produced in the past 100 years is that screencap telling you to think of a smug Pepe anytime anything stressful happens.
Being smug when you shouldn't be is horrible advice.
Hear hear.
Jokes aside The power of now definitely. It really helped me diminish anxiety attacks.
Can't Hurt me by David Goggins is probably the only non meme self help book that's the most useful. Other self help books give you lots of anecdotes and are full of filler material but I found Can't Hurt Me to get me more pumped up than 3 espresso shots in a row .

4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals really fricked me up on this, in a good way. Most experiences aren’t that bad and you’re moreso afraid of it in concept or even for not bad experiences you daydream a lot. That’s not the meat of the book but it does delve into that.
Reflexive Godness
EPICtetus
Seems like an early Nietzsche, will look into him
I've heard of this, the one about living in nature. I will check it out after current book
I don't think its fair to compare Neetcheese and epicT. Neet hated the stoics and rails against them a lot. Hes honestly cringe af.
See if you can get into Ellam Ondre or anything with the words of Ramana Maharshi. If your a secular materialist tard kys.
neetch was a hellenist who was very influenced by greek thought. you'll find a lot of echoes of him there
this, and seneca.
could read epicurus and lucretius too. And sextus empiricus.
you should basically just read hellenistic philosophy.
Walden
This is what I always recommend when people ask this question

I like how Robert Anton Wilson ended up dying.
Rudolf Steiner's Philosophy of Freedom. Read it. And read it well.
If you shun the foolish politics of the day, refusing that blind steadfast commitment to the arbitrary leftward or the arbitrary rightward paths then you will not be born to the same sad fate as the enemy.
