Hi.
I'm looking for recommendations for books about
>learning how to want less/nothing
>dealing with one's human greed
>acceptance in face of failure
>fighting one's narcissistic nature

Not necessarily minimalism or buddhism stuff, just some guides or wisdom?

Why books? Are you sure you aren’t defaulting to books as a familiar and known path forwards?
You’ll learn exactly what you’re looking for in one sunny day by taking acid.
Books aren’t the cure for all. Your question is like wanting to learn how to dance by reading books about dancing.

look into the few letters and doctrines left of Epicurianism. Contrary to the christian image of "hedonism", it is exactly what you ask for, a set of doctrines meant to make one reflect on the nature of desire and suffering, to clear anxieties and superstitions in order to realize how easily desire is fulfilled and how easily happiness can be attained.
