You seem to have a lot of hate - may I encourage a certain self-help book?

If you're unhappy with yourself, take action and change yourself into the person you want to be. I've been reading this book recently and it's been helping a lot. I recommend you give it a read.

I really enjoyed Sapiens, and I'm picking up some more of the author's books soon. Fascinating theories on why humans developed language, money, art, religion... All of it. Well worth your time.

Becoming Who We Need To Be was a good (short) read. I'm a fan of the author's work already (particularly his podcast), and the book is a thought-provoking look at a wide variety of topics. More a collection of essays than anything.

Jordan Peterson gets a fair bit of stick, but I found 12 Rules for Life to be quite a powerful read. I don't agree with all of what he writes, but there are some very good lessons in here for sorting one's shit out. A lot of it very obvious now that I've read it, but sometimes you need things spelling out for you.

Religious or not, I would encourage anyone to read The God Delusion. Dawkins is quite militant in his atheism, but it does present a lot of good arguments as to why religion isn't necessary for a person to act morally.

How To Be Miserable resonated with me quite a lot. Bits of it are in a similar vein to 12 Rules for Life, but essentially it's a self-help book that's approaching the matter from the slightly tongue-in-cheek perspective of wanting to make yourself as miserable as possible (ie. don't do these things). Another fairly short, but quite enjoyable read.

​

Bonus fiction recommendation:

The Way of Kings. I just got finished reading this last night, and oh boy was it good. It's an absolute tome at 1200 pages, but it's a proper un-put-down-able. Really great work of fantasy, with some outstanding worldbuilding, fascinating characters, and one of the best climaxes I've read in years.

That's very true - the question of how to conduct your life in the face of pain and severe discomfort is a difficult one. Allow me to give you a book recommendation on the topic.

At du drømte om fet bil og hus som ung forteller meg at du er en overfladisk person? Ikke at det er negativt, mange overfladiske mennesker lever gode liv.
Men, det er ikke overraskende at livet føles tomt og meningsløst hvis det faktisk er det...
