>> I recommend you read a bit from Seneca the Young to understand where I'm coming from. A better recommendation is to actually close down the computer and put away the mobile phone and actually go out from the bedroom and interact with real people. This way, one gets an idea about how the real world works and see the true nature of human traits and behaviors. If you just sit at home and read Arthur Schopenhauer, Marcus Aurelius and Plato you will build a mental model of reality that doesn't exist in the real world. Your naivety would show and you will be taken advantage of without even you knowing it. Do both. Philosophy to improve yourself but also step outside the home to understand how real life works. Best of both worlds!
