I want literature and philosophy discussing freedom, what it means to be free, etc.
I feel beholden to my wages, to my boss, to my desires, to a million things, some of it my fault; maybe all of it.
Point is, I need to read about varying ideas of freedom and how one is free.
Economic perspective, political perspective, psychological perspective, etc.
Anything welcome, but some things that wouldn't be new:
Rousseau
Arendt
Sartre

>how one is free
You aren't. Read Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud.

Done some Nietzsche, but I should probably read Capital, and I'll give Freud a go.

Buddhism, mindfulness, meditation
Siddharta - Hesse
Rumi's poetry
Myth of Sisyphus
Aurelius

If you're on /lit/ I'll assume you've probably read it, but Nineteen-Eighty-Four by George Orwell raises a lot of great questions about freedom. Also by Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London is a great read and seems appropriate given how you seem to be 'beholden' to a particular way of life.
To an extent, I guess, The Myth of Sisyphus?
Fight Club?
The Underground by Dostoevsky has some interesting perspectives on the idea of freedom in the face of being kind of 'addicted' to feelings and emotion.
