So I just finished reading this one by Mark Manson and I'm reading "The Monk who sold his ferrari". Both great inspirational, life changing books with good advice how to live a happier life. I'll be re-reading them sometime soon and I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions of books about psychology/spirituality. Thanks dudes.
I'll refrain from giving my opinion on picture related
But The Awakened Ape might be something you enjoy
I hope you use these kind of books as inspirations or ideas and not force them onto yourself

Purely inspiration. The whole idea of cultivating your body, soul and mind to achieve what you wish inspired me to go out running today. And I'll keep doing it for the rest of the week. I rarely force anything on myself, yet I find it calming to read books like this, they explain what I can't. And thanks for the suggestion!

That's good.
For me Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was mind-blowing, it brought together a lot of different stuff together
Even though I disagree with him on several stuff the book has been very inspirational
I know a bunch of psychology books, some more popsci as the other. What interests you?
Personality, intelligence, attraction, creativity, political, cognition?
I think "wired to create" by Scott Barry Kaufman is light science but I did enjoy it, it was about the psychology of creative people and some behaviours that nourish it

All of the topics really. I liked "Subtle art of not giving a fuck" because it justified my own ideas of this world, how fucked it is for caring for things that don't matter. And "Monk who sold his ferrari" is helping me get rid of fucks I don't need while focusing on my real problems. Psychology has always interested me, why people act the way they act, why some things get done and others dont. Another question, where do you usually get your books? I try piratebay yet I only found Antifragile.

I usually use lib gen, others books I take from the college library or the town's library
