Which book(s) would serve to undo the mental damage that years

>>9667275
in reference to what? Your inability to function as a human being, or your hatred of women? Because books don't help with that, not matter what /lit/ likes to pretend. The only cure is to go out and have a semi-normal conversation with an assortment of semi-normal people.

no more mr nice guy robert glover.
and more important than that, staying away from any kind of psychology, philosophy or sociology books, which will make you question the reality even more, which is something that you don't need after a heavy session of r9k autism session.

I'm talking about all the self-loathing, obsession, autism, betaness, depression, and all that shit which festers there

>>9667275
Thinking that books will help repair your r9k mindset is r9k thinking in yourself. Just work on going out in the world and not being autistic. Things like Epictetus, Seneca and Aurelius might aid in curing your terminal autism, but nothing will be nearly enough to help you on its own.

Same answer. If you work hard at being a normal person around normal people, they will affirm your self worth and whittle away at your self hate by simple not being repulsed by you.

Self-help charlatanism.

Books won't help.
You'll have to be lucky and have good experiences with other people in life.

>recommending stoics to cure self-loathing

>>9667275
Start with the Greeks.

John Updike.

>>9667275
I wonder if Heller's Something Happened would help with this. Not really the same problem and might just make it worse.

>>9667275
Ignore all these anons who say books won't help. Books do have an ability to make you think more about the way you are living your life. But it is true that they won't get you all the way. Probably one of the best things you could start out with is to simply fast from the Internet.

>>9667396
We're not saying that books won't help, because they certainly do. It's just that relying on books to help you is not going to get you very far. Unless it's the bible. But the bible isn't really going to help with social autism.

1. Leave 4chan

2. Since you won't do 1., at least leave /r9k/ , /pol/, /b/ and possibly /tv/.

3. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius could probably help.

4. Being a normal person around normal people will do you good.

fuck off no more mr nice guy by robert glover is one of the few useful self-help books out there. besides its widely available for free so it's not like it costs anything more than an afternoon to read and a few weeks to practice.

You haven't actually read the book, have you? The quote is fabricated. It's more Epicurean than Stoic. It seems to be loosely based on the following;

>Now departure from the world of men is nothing to fear, if gods exist: because they would not involve you in any harm. If they do not exist, or if they have no care for humankind, then what is life to me in a world devoid of gods, or devoid of providence? But they do exist, and they do care for humankind: and they have put it absolutely in man's power to avoid falling into the true kinds of harm.

>>9667275
Something that cultivates your passion for life. Homer and Shakespeare would be a good start.

>>9667698
this shit is insanely hard to read (native russian speaker). How do you even get to books like this?

>>9667318
