An incredible first book to start your philosophy journey. Super simple and infinitely profound
Man's Search for Meaning (B&N Exclusive Edition) by Viktor E. Frankl, ...
If we looked at Dostoevsky’s work as a music album, C&P would be the smash hit single. I’d recommend reading this first! Get the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation 🙏
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
In my opinion this is the second book you should read by Dostoevsky. Very short but profound read that has a special place in my heart. Get the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation 🙏
Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
This book is hard to explain. There’s moments where you adore it and moments where it feels like you’re dragging your feet through mud. One of my favourite ideas by Dostoevsky is in this book and it absolute blew me away. The ending is absolutely bon...
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
This was the last book I read from the Dosteovsky “big 5” so it had that season finally feeling for me. Probably his most underrated work, at least for me, because I haven’t really heard much about it. Might be my second favourite of the 5? But who a...
Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky
In my opinion this is Dosteovsky’s magnum opus. It is my favourite book of his as well as my favourite book of all time. Save this for last, you won’t regret it.
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Every good prince should read this book. Although controversial, there are a lot of incredible things to learn in this book. Be careful because there are also some ideas that are dangerous. An amazing read nonetheless
The Prince by Nicco Machiavelli
An absolute classic must read. Super fun and easy read that is terrifyingly relevant. In my opinion I would recommend reading this before Dostoevsky just because Fydor is so brilliant and deep that it might make 1984 a bit anticlimactic. That’s perso...
1984 George Orwell
I did like this book but I found it pretty predictable and honestly a bit over hyped. Would strongly recommend you read it though because it still was enjoyable and it’s incredibly short.
Animal Farm George Orwell
Great first read for one of my all time favourites Carl Jung.
Man and His Symbols: Jung, Carl G
Every man should read this to help better understand himself. Every woman should read this to understand the men in their lives. Also it’s just phenomenal
King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Archetypes
It’s hard to find the words to describe how much I loved this book. It is my favourite material based in the Jungian lane and is just absolutely brilliant.
Ego and Archetype (C. G. Jung Foundation)
If you dislike Dr. Peterson I only ask that you read this book with an open mind. This book is a phenomenal take on how we approach the unknown, balance chaos and order and how religious thinking is formed. When reading this you will definitely feel ...
Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief
Another banger by Plato
Symposium by Plato
This book is extremely interesting. I’ve always gravitated towards the biblical story of Job so this was a must read for me. In this book Carl Jung starts off by psychoanalyzing Yahweh (the god of the Old Testament) in the story of Job. He later goes...
Answer To Job by Carl Jung
An incredible book that will shape how you reason and what you value. This book probably changed the trajectory of my life more than any other book. Everyone should read this book
Five Dialogues: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo
