Have you tried Meditations by Marcus Aurelius? TL;DR - do something for other people, don't whine about your current position, don't whine about stupid people, believe in god(s). If you don't know what to do for other people, start at any local homeless shelter or food service. They always need someone to help. If you don't like my list, read that book yourself.
- fpoling 5y agoI used to like stoic writings until I realized that they rarely applied those principles to own life. Meditations is basically a description of painful experiences even when one is a rule of Ancient Rome empire. I would suggest to try to read writing of Epicurus instead. At least he did followed own principles as far as we know.
