I've decided to quit my job and become a flâneur. Any books to help me on this career path? Or just advice in general?

Read Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau. Then read Pessoa. I suggest carrying around a camera and getting into street photography. Worst-case scenario, you've got a camera roll full of interesting photos from a simpler time in your life to remember fondly

For books, I recommend the Psmith series by PG Wodehouse. Psmith, the character, will give you good inspiration on the attitude you need to make this work.

Japanese middle-aged dude mostly works alone as a toilet cleaner, eats alone, bathes in public alone, reads alone, etc., yet is happy. I really think this is life-maxxing for the /lit/fag.

Based. Start hanging out near construction sites, and learn the craft from your local umarells.
