What book will make my life good?

If you don't want full religious conversion (which is the most effective answer if you can do it), try Lin Yutang's The Importance of Living.

Why?

>how the dickens
>literature has no practical use
>do something with your life

Reddit/Tumblr/Nerdfighter, pls go.

Read it and find out baka senpai :3

The Stoics and the Greeks.

In all seriousness, all /r9k/ needs is Jesus. Find God, morality and a nice dedicated Christian wife who has strong conviction and commitment to faith. You're looking for love in the wrong places. When you live the life of a nihilistic degenerate and hedonist, it's hypocritical to expect women you meet to be anything more than that. Pure women do exist, even the traditional and nerdy kind, they just don't want fedora tipping degenerates with self-serving ethics.

>m-maybe if i read this little book my life will be decent right, Veeky Forums friends?

i've been feeling really depressed lately and i've begun reading the new testament. never really felt religious, even went through an edgy atheist phase but even that slowly went away. im not making any guarantees, just read it and think for yourself. there's real truth in it and it has been helping me a bit.

>real truth in it
such as?

matthew 6:25-34

Catch 22 and some Kafka
If you can get the humor (if you're here, you probably will) it will teach you to laugh more at people, at sadness, and especially at bureaucracy. The more you can laugh, the better your life will be. Laugh at misery, it can all be a big joke.

Empathy and understand of human beings is what gives this life meaning

An empty callous life is not worth it

just b urself, op

But that would be bad.

How to kill yourself an instruction manual

There is no magic solution dumb fuck, no secret meaning self help book or tape that will magically allow you to cut corners and be who you want to be, you know what you have to do, stop being a lazy shit browsing the internet all day and go get your shit together.

But killing myself would end my life, that's not making it good?

Think you misunderstood the question friend

you are the cancer that people refer to when they talk about how this board has been flooded with idiots and shitposters.

Then end up realizing after a decade into the relationship, that you don't really live her. Have a long drawn out internal and external conflict with the self and her over the issues you're feeling and never understand what went wrong. Never realizing that an unprovable metaphysical concept was an illogical basis by which to form such a union. Eventually begin to doubt the ideas themselves and fall into an existential angst the likes of which you never imagined, get divorced, watch as your children become confused.

Eventually realize that love comes from an objective understanding of the self and others. An acceptance of the self not as degraded, sinful, low, and debased, but as divinity itself, as a being that is capable of change, growth and love, and realize that nothing is permanent.

But since you wasted most of your life, you run out of time and don't find a partner who shares this ideology, get cancer and die, rotting in the ground.

To answer OP. Keirkegaardian, Frankl, Irvine Valom, Fritz Pearl, Heidegger.

I've not read any of them but I think they could help you. I don't want to tell you what helped me, because you're not me, so these that I haven't read are just as likely to help, though I do aim to read Keirkegaardian and Irvin.

>I've not read any of them but I think they could help you
Never change Veeky Forums

Literally the worst post I've ever seen

>religion is the only option

Nothing is ever absolutely true. Stop trying so hard to recruit.

Lol I was doing something different, usually I would list all the books that meant something to me, but today I chose books that I think might do so for me in the future, since I can't actually know what will help OP.

What didn't you like about it? I rather enjoyed it.

Maybe you're just a Christfag?

deep, but you can't really just read it as you would a normal book, just go to church senpai
catholicism btw

At least it was written with effort, thought, and hopefully sincerity. Unlike your shitpost which unfortunately is symptomatic of this shitboard.

Pretty sure he meant Matthew 16:25
