What is that book you call 'The One'?

The Joyful Wisdom

what does "take the red pill" mean?

This thread is calling for shitposts, but meditations unironically improved my life and was the book responsible for making me start reading philosophy

>incoherent pseudo-Christfaggotry
lmao just end yo life my man

>The Republic
>Good

oh boy well memed my guy

Well if your not joking your absolutely retarded.

'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.

thanks for the kek user
now pls die

>2016
>Being this edgy

Oh boy user.

You sure got us all there.

this isn't funny

try harder next time faggot
on second thoughts just kill yourself

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.

have this book in my shopping cart

how does it read?

Siddartha

Very matter-of-fact, but the passion in the characters and love the narrator has for them is astounding.

>your absolutely retarded
Wew lad.

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.

>unironically being a stoic

your poor wretched soul

It's like you can't even into stoicism

it's like you've only started reading a week ago
what other Veeky Forums recommended book is going to change your life next?

easy

>Implying you know shit about time-travel

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.

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.

Myth of Sisyphus and Baghavad Gita

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.

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

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

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.

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

u memeing me right now?

can u elaborate?

Lame, but it's very pretty writing and mopey in the way I like.

It's a Matrix meme that all the kids like to use.

Upvoted, fellow redditeur xd

>The Joyful Wisdom
more like the gay science hehe fag

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.

>Baghavad Gita

What version of this did you read mate? I'd like to read it but unsure of the "best" version.

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.

Just bought it off the kindle store, thank you.

so, absolutely beautiful?
