Emerson? Epicurus. Nietzsche too is very life-affirming.

Epicurus is all fragments. I'm also not massively convinced on the life affirming tho he was quite happy himself by all accounts.

Nietzsches Thus Spoke Zarathustra is well, very life-emracing, even if you don't really understand theory much.
One could even call it an empowering work of philosophical fiction.

Just move on to Dead Flag Blues. That's where things start getting really uplifting.

>>8272800
forget (impractical) philosophy
ignore (empty) Epicurus
Seneca
Cicero
Marcus Aurelius
Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
Burns, Feeling Good

There's one thing in common with all of these types of books op, they never give an answer. If you want to find your true purpose in this world, into pro fascist and natsoc fiction to prepare you for the non-fiction literature to will be in search of afterwards.
