I need uplifting literature. Anonymous 2016-12-23 06:05:50 Post No. 8877330 [Report]

I need to not feel like a depressed piece of shit right now.
All of my fiction books are:
>existentialist philosophies
>various horror (Poe to gothic to modern)
>a lot of cosmic horror/Lovecraft
>/lit/'s recommended depressing literature (No Longer Human, Conspiracy Against Human Race, Notes From Underground,etc)
>apocalyptic shit like Metro2033, World War Z, etc

I realized I have only one "positive" book (pic related). I need something more like it, something with some... positive life message or whatever. I know Alchemist is a load of Oprah book club-tier rubbish in reality but I'm tired of having nothing positive to believe in. I need to believe in something hopeful. Help please.

Read some R.A.W. (Illuminatus!, Prometheus Rising).
There are no real positive messages but it's an alternative that's easier to swallow than some Oprah tier life affirming bullshit.

>life affirming bullshit
That's actually what I want. Not like The Secret or some self-help book though. But I know of none.
When I read the Alchemist, the thing is, I know people in real life who live their lives with the general philosophy the book gives off and they're extremely happy. Things usually go well with them.

I'm just so fucking miserable I need to try something.

I'm not that desperate.

Man and his Symbols is pretty good if you feel aimless and stuck in a rut, not fiction though.
