What is that book you call 'The One'?
Could've changed your life, you might think it's the greatest book out there, etc.
I'll begin -- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

My Twisted World.
It describes me to a T. It feels like I am walking in Elliot's shoes.
Shit pick by the way OP.

The Joyful Wisdom
>>8101974
what does "take the red pill" mean?
>>8101952
This thread is calling for shitposts, but meditations unironically improved my life and was the book responsible for making me start reading philosophy
>>8101952

>The Republic
>Good
oh boy well memed my guy
>>8102327
Well if your not joking your absolutely retarded.
>>8102346
'Meditations' is self-help pabulum, not philosophy.
Made me realize how hard it is to have true sympathy for everyone, and how worthwhile it is.
>>8101962

>>8102905
He's obviously a shitposter.
Pol doesn't recommend mein kampf, it recommends the way of men, revolt against the modern world, might is right, etc.
>>8102410

how does it read?
Siddartha
>>8102938
Very matter-of-fact, but the passion in the characters and love the narrator has for them is astounding.
>>8102399
>your absolutely retarded
Wew lad.
>>8102327
Not completely sure myself but I know that a lot of /pol/ kids use it. I believe it's a reference to the Matrix; it's a metaphor for gaining enlightenment.

>>8102348
It's like you can't even into stoicism
>>8103020

what other 4chan recommended book is going to change your life next?
easy
>>8103035
>Implying you know shit about time-travel
>>8102359
The Republic is extremely thought-provoking. It's not some way to live, but it's a hell of a time if you like to think.
>>8102593
I know, you finally feel like you see how to live and be a part of a society that maybe you've felt a bit alienated from, but stoicism is simply not a coherent view of the world. It functions well for many people, but that's not the same as truth.

Not knowing what "redpill" means is a badge of honor
Meditations is useless. Just way too many things to try to keep in mind and purposefully apply to your everyday life at any moment. It's impossible.
>>8104021
i think it says somewhere within it that each virtue must be mastered once at a time until they become second nature, or maybe i read this somewhere else, or just go fuck yourself
>>8102946
used to be this, now it's power broker by robert caro
my life would be very different if that book hadn't convinced me that politics was a road worth pursuing
>>8104027
It takes three weeks of constant attention for a habit to be ingrained and become second nature. It's impossible with the amount in the book.
>>8102986
great book.
Hero With A Thousand Faces
Reading this as a teenager made me do a 180 on everything I thought about literature, art, religion and philosophy .
redpill me on the redpill
>>8104057
u memeing me right now?
>>8104057
can u elaborate?
Lame, but it's very pretty writing and mopey in the way I like.
>>8102327
It's a Matrix meme that all the kids like to use.
>>8101974
Upvoted, fellow redditeur xd

Crime and punishment probably :|
Moby Dick was great, but life changing?
Same goes for The Brothers Karamazov.
Those two stood out above all else i've read really.
>>8103112
>Baghavad Gita
What version of this did you read mate? I'd like to read it but unsure of the "best" version.
>>8104021
That's why I like Epictetus' Discourses more. He simply hits the few core tenants running through Stoic Ethics and proceeds to bludgeon you over the head with them through all four books.
>>8104720
Just bought it off the kindle store, thank you.
>>8102984
so, absolutely beautiful?

What is "edgy" about knowing what philosophy is?
