Everything that Arthur Schopenhauer wrote.
It's a lot about finding purpose in life.
I started reading his stuff and then I became angry at him and at me.
At him because he showed me that I'm a slave of nature and at me because I started questioning life and humanity.
Then I started to disprove his thesis and found my own purpose in life, not only that, it also gave me a much better understanding of human nature, which can be used in marketing or product design.
- twbarber 9y agoAny of his work in particular?
- AlexAMEEE 9y ago'The world as will and representation' is probably the most important. I would actually just recommend a book that does a summary of all his books, that's enough in my opinion. His stuff is very hard to read and I often had to ask professionals who then translated or explained it to me.
- noam87 9y ago> Everything that Arthur Schopenhauer wrote. Though you're probably good just skimming over anything he had to say about women or non-white people :p Even my 19th-century edition of his essays comes with a prefatory warning.
- AlexAMEEE 9y agoI agree, it's recommended to read a summary of all his texts.
