It is not only about what you consume and indulge in, but also about what you do not consume or indulge in. Think on't.
In my opinion, being a winner is about Wisdom and Virtue—Faith in God, Courage, Steadfastness, Patience, Endurance, Knowledge, Understanding, Expediency, Creativity, Insight, Motivating Passion, Joy, Innocence, Purity, Mercy, Compassion, etc., being some examples of the sorts of Virtues I mean. This list is from this mindset; likewise, that means that even should you find vice in some of these works, save the Bible, for it has none, you must take that which strengthens and leave the rest, but to the degree that you have acquired Wisdom is the degree to which you may do so.
The Holy Bible [The Keystone]
Plato; Death of Socrates, Republic, & Meno
Aristotle: Rhetoric
Le Morte d'Arthur; Sir Thomas Mallory
(alternative version: King Arthur and His Noble Knights; Mary Macleod)
Call of the Wild; Jack London
Dr. Thorne; Anthony Trollope
>By Woman:
Pride and Prejudice & Sense and Sensibility; Jane Austen
Little Women; Louisa May Alcott
(If you like nostalgia IQfy and want to remind yourself of the purity you possessed as a boy, and the tender affections of a wise and loving mother, read Beatrix Potter. I was reading her and Hoffmann's Struwwelpeter to my young nephew and it refreshed my spirit as well—Ms. Potter, especially.)
I was going to give you a very great whopping list, but it's important that you should read the foundations of the Bible, Plato, and Aristotle without too much distraction. "The beginning of Wisdom is this: Get Wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight." Having acquired more Wisdom, you may seek out greater Virtue. Having acquired more Virtue, you will acquire more Virtue. "To him who has, more will be given, but to him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away." In addition, I do not wish to hand out my sacred pearls to people who do not know and bless my heart, so I have withheld them from you, neither knowing your worth as a man, nor your eye for worth, but I am confident, if you strive enough to surmount the Bible at the very least, there is hope for you.
I feel bad while trying hard- I feel bad to realise its only about money.
As for money, build simple, sound habits, built capital, and increase your knowledge on investment strategies to the degree that you intend to self-manage investment. Do not be impatient. Do not be reckless. Never fail to pay yourself from big winnings. Never fail to give God the First tenth. Never fail to bless others from your gains. Never fail your obligations. It's essentially as simple as that. Even a janitor of 40k per year can enter retirement as a millionaire with patience and diligence (though I only have personally heard of one such man, what was remarkable was that his strategies were entirely mundane, even pedestrian. The key was responsible consistency over time.).
Yeah. The Iliad isn’t a self help book, you drug addled dolt.
The Iliad is a non-biased tale of how the Greeks saw the fall of Troy. You can learn from the flaws of all the main characters but the narrator is pretty non-judgmental about any of the main players. It tells what happened but it doesn’t really go “this guy did this and he was dumb.” The closest the narrator gets to judging anyone is when the one guy trades his armor for much cheaper armor a fraction of what it was worth and the narrator says that Zeus made his head foggy to partake in such a deal.
Sounds like something that's in your head. A book doesn't fix a lack of self-confidence, and that is what you need. My measure of success in life is service and obedience to God.

Every book is a self-help book to the Wise.

I've read the Iliad, and said what I said in spite of that. Think on't.
BOOKS? JUST WIN.
I feel bad while trying hard- I feel bad to realise its only about money.
>think about something I like
>act upon it
>win it or come close
>happy
>keep acting
I feel worse when not trying.

Embrace being a loser
Yeah. The Iliad isn’t a self help book, you drug addled dolt.
The Bible
Eternal loser
A Confession by Tolstoy
No book will help.
You're welcome
Is this shit good? I got a copy from a second-hand bookstore but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
same it's on my backlog and the only thing I've heard was that the author has a rape fetish
>Is this shit good?
Absolutely not. It may still be a gratifying read. The author's brain damage may even be the main attraction.
It's not about books.
>just be part of this hierarchy, then you'll be happy!
"no"
I wonder if reading picrel correlates to winning or just being smug
>hierarchy bad

It's only bad when I'm at the bottom.

Literally just stop eating sugar. It's fricking up your hormones bad.
>fighting over some dumb b***h who isn't even yours
That entire book is filled with losers: men who fought and died in a pointless war.
Buuut Achilles stopped fighting when his woman was taken. Technically he was fighting over a guy who was his.
Don't blame the Achaeans, blame Menelaus who couldn't get over it after 10 whole years. Helen probably hit the wall by that point, too.

post some reccs instead of being yapping manchildren
i gotchu
This isn't an RPG, reading books don't level you up and make you not be a loser anymore
A book on how to have a nice day should help
