Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, if you haven’t already. I assume most people here have already read it.
The Rebel, by Camus. It’s an essay but it definitely makes you feel powerful.
Anything by Bukowski, but that is debatable.

I think it has more to do with how to deal with problems, or life in general.
Epictetus was also a stoic and a slave and he wrote something along the lines of “if you are angry, you must remember that it is because you’ve been trained to read that way.” I’m paraphrasing of course.
Aurelius, on the other hand, was a stoic and a Roman Emperor. He wasn’t like any other emperors. He had all the power in the world. He could get all the women he wanted, all the pleasures that money can buy, but he didn’t. He was a better man than me, and probably a better man than everyone alive today.
These two men have nothing to do with each other, yet they share the same philosophy.

>> No.16069438

males actually love to be disposable. the whole drive of a male is to be acknowledged as being useful
-being useful towards a woman is just giving her great sex and solving her little problems and a man is indeed always happy to be chosen by a woman to give sex FOR FREE
-being useful to other men is just paying taxes and trying to fulfill the moronic male idea of ''serving'' the clan, the group, the society, the kingdom, which is symbolized by acquiring lots of worthless medals (but spineless men like militaries love that crap)


men derive meaning and purposes from women and their retarded idea of progress of society. when men do not have this, they literally get depressed and commit suicide. It is a matter of life and death for a male to be seen as useful

Men value too much women and the big mistake of a man is that he think he is no longer dispoabled, he no longer competes with other man, once a woman has chosen him for casual entertainment. It turns out a woman always keep her orbiters in competition, even when she shacks up with one of her orbiters.
THen it gets even worse, because a woman lives for sex and only sex:
-when she is around other women, they talk about sex
-when she is with men, she has sex
-when she watches tv, read books and what bourgeois wanabes call ''culture'', which is a fancy word for entertainment, they are about sex

theyre not overly deep books anon, i literally stated that they aren't particularly intellectual, its literally just a couple short sci fi books and a war memoir, your reading comprehension seems a little rusty, and i have indeed read a couple of books mentioned back when i was just beginning to explore such topics

anyway let me guess, you read moby dick and brothers k or something for the first time the other day and now youre a true intellectual and youve earned the right to talk like a teenage girl?

To answer your question, most people think so, but that's wrong.
The reason it's called so is because how Stoics intended to live as a nature and people see it as super acceptance/cope.
