Hi lit, I was wondering if you guys could recommend some books that argue against safety as a lifestyle and thought principle?
Be it in favor of wild adventure and simply living life on the edge, political radicalization, critique of fear of uncertainty..
all replies greatly appreciated
Maybe the dice man is what you're looking for?
Book is shit though

Do you want nonfiction? If you're happy with novels then Henry Miller is your guy.
Antal Szerb’s "Journey by Moonlight" maybe, but in the end most books, really. Hell, it’s even a major theme of Murakami’s.

Kinda. I would say I prefer good arguments over anecdotes. But if those anecdotes are derived from good arguments, why not?
Not necessarily rational arguments either btw. Just something that inspires while also satisfying my intellect, as pretentious as that probably sound.

Well Henry Miller's oeuvre basically adds up to a definition of what it means to be heroic. Self-actualisation above everything else. But he's not for everyone I guess.
