a little bit of both because my death wish is not quite so severe as to be taking the sort of extreme measures that the post may have implied.
furthermore though I find it hard to believe that there are those among us who would deny the obvious truths I have both plainly and crytically stated and I suppose hearing some differing viewpoints on the matter from the community was my goal in making such a post to begin with

How can literature make up for the fact that I'm not a New York / London, high-finance, work-hard-play-hard, hooking-up, 24/7, coffee-drinking sophisticate?

Here are some books I've recently enjoyed

The ONE Thing

Psycho Cybernetics

The Alchemist

Siddhartha

The Sun Also Rises (was a reread but better the second time)

The Blank Slate

What have you recently enjoyed?

How do I reconcile my desire to be a coffee drinking, physical and intellectual flaneuring sophisticate with no daily schedule, along with my STEMtard core, which requires habits and long hours to reach its potential?

AND I want to fit in 4chan, the gym, and lots of reading! And I'm only thinking about all this stuff because I recently graduated and only work for 15 hours per week in a minor job while living with my parents so I barely spend money. If I was working 9-5 then my aspiration to do anything would be CRUSHED
