Is there any philosophical work you've read that actually improved your life in a practical way? Not just made you think or gave you wisdom, but made you actually live better.

spinoza changed me, but it's hard to say how. more things are radiant now.
>not just... gave you wisdom, but made you actually live better
spinoza showed me that these are the same thing

Nietzsche

unironically the highest tier answer
but there are many other beautiful philosophers to be read after nietzsche shakes you out of it

The Crocodile, by Dostoevsky, gave me a good perspective on the world. I think about it a lot.

>>25172950
Most of them
Plato, Aristotle, Heraclitus, Lyotard, Spinoza, Nietzsche, Land

Well, I had the spoon in my hand already anon, and there was a little hungry birdy right in front of me. Are you some kind of faggot that doesn't feed little birdies?

Nietzsche + Camus
>>
>>25172950
Schiller's Aesthetic Education of Man
And Stirner's 'My Self-Enjoyment' section in The Ego and Its Own

both helped me develop a better version of my definition of happiness, that was less about achievement and more about feeling the actual harmony of the moment. Their words live through me at all times now, I breathe and feel much more content, much more powerful, I lament less about the future or the past (Emerson also emphasized the present, I like him as well)

Foucault

Marcus Aurelius
