>My life had got on the wrong track, and my contact with men had become now a mere soliloquy. I had fallen so low that, if I had had to choose between falling in love with a woman and reading a book about love, I should have chosen the book.

Shifting your mood permanently needs some inner work and focus.
Knowing that, it's hard to declare any candidate without knowing you as well as well as your situation.
Did you have a happy childhood? Go for a book from that age.

Did you do something horrible that made you lose it? Perhaps atonement is what you need, not coping mechanisms.

No book will ever make your life worth living. That isn't a slight against literature. Only you can experience your form of joy and motivation, so it is foolish to expect the words of others to carry you to happiness. Good books will guide you, but they are not the path themselves. They will console you and remind you that you are not alone. They will suggest avenues and help you see the road that others walk, but if joie de vivre were dusted in the pages of books, we wouldn't need cocaine.

I recognize this is infuriating to hear and not very useful advice. I don't believe you can choose to be happy. The best you can do is choose to try as much as possible, to expose yourself to every kind of trial and pleasure until you find the one thing that makes your brain reluctant to share a single synapse towards anything else. You may never find it, and while that would be a shame, you can also take pride in knowing that you genuinely tried.

Watch One Piece, obtain a dream. Since I was a kid I always wanted to own a business, that goal has driven my decision making and led to the life I have
