Are there any self-help books that are actually good?
Looking for something that will make me stop being a lazy fuck and stop wasting time on 4chan and vidya and shit.
Please help, you are my only hope.

I guess your best bet will be Ego and its Own by Max Stirner. Ignore it's meme status and don't get discouraged if you're new to philosophy, it's an easy read.
Self-help books just don't cut it anymore once you're well-read enough and can see past the bullshit that those books are full off.

Have it on my shelf actually, never got around to reading more than a few chapters, though. Might give it a go, thanks for the rec.

Also I'd suggest to simply pick up some philosophy books on a subject you're interested in and study like a madman. If you're anything like me, you'll get obsessed with it and get into a state of pleasant tension and focus, which is beneficial to you in getting the other shit done
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, OP. Seriously. To paraphrase a really good quote: "God didn't make me to spend the day warm in bed" or something.

Marcus Aurelius wasn't a monotheist, dumbass. And his book is garbage.
