The consolations of philosophy by Alain de Botton

Alan Bottom is a retard.

Read Lord Chesterfield's Letters. The Prince and The Book of the Courtier are good for that too. Maybe Madame de Sevigny's letters if you need more.

autobiographies of wise people or their journals

lots of lesser works like topical essays or collections of aphorisms(neitzsche, wittgenstein, bresson) have wise quips

Las meditaciones de Marco Aurelio, los Ensayos de Montaigne, libros de aforismos.

Book of the Courtier I loved when I read it back in school, from the way it was framed to the dialogues. Got completely pseudo nostalgic for a time, and for a level of culture, I would never experience. That such persons existed!
