dont study philosophy

Unless you plan to go into academia. Canadian here: Phil was useful in the grand scheme of things, but what stuck on a Self developmental level is what can be learnt by self directed study. If you can, do a humanities degree! That way you can study art, literature, music and not just the latest breaking nonsense from cog sci. Caveat: my school lent analytic. If yours doesn’t, it might be more interesting. psych Has broader appeal skills that are more practical and applied.

reading philosophy

i know philosophy is always seen as pretentious and boring, and some of it is, but we are SO privileged to have access to a written history dating back millennia of the pursuit of understanding humanity. the fact that we have wanted to understand what it means to be human so badly that we have been writing about our theories since the moment we created written language is a philosophy in and of itself. find what studies of thought you relate to the most! marxism, nihilism, absurdism, existentialism, feminism, whatever! find the beauty in thought! philosophy does not always have to be 800 page books of some old dead white guys dense musings. plenty of novels cover philosophical issues, like piranesi by suzanna clark. reading philosophy, in my experience, helps expand your empathy and understanding of the human condition while helping you discover yourself as well. read with purpose! it's a magical thing. please share your favorite philosophical texts you've read with me :) i'm always looking for new ones <3

ordinary unhappiness

depends on if you think freudian/psychoanalytic thought is philosophical or not, but i enjoyed quite a lot (as someone coming from a more psychological/lit criticism angle)
