i don't have good experiences with the self help genre

meditations and enchiridion made me realize stoicism is a hack
in term of recents, i couldnt get through atomic habits and ended up regifting it to my friend

Atomic habits is a good one, I am half way through it rn,
I am also reading a book called Flow, which is all about flow state and how to attain it, happiness, psychology and stuff which is pretty cool.

I recently got Meditations, I am gonna start reading it soon.

books are like any type of media, you probably just haven't found one that interests you. i've been there too, just gotta take the first step

this is correct, but i blame the covid brainrot for this more. my attention span is completely shot unless i'm actively doing something with my hands (ie playing games or cooking). i could have the best book in the world in my hands and i'd still probably get bored... i'm working on it :<

that might be the move honestly, funny i didn't consider it. i've managed to get myself to listen to podcasts, so audiobooks are probably the next logical step

I used to read like crazy just because I enjoyed it, but being forced to read boring shit in highschool made it so hard to just read for fun, I just have no excitement to read anymore
