    I already have a routine and work out every day. What Peterson says my mom has been telling me my whole life.

    Does Schopenhauer have a good message to life I can use as a guide on top of the other books ive read?

    If peterson isn't working, I'd recommend eight hours a day of land, some amphetamines, and a mean dog.

    Why do you think philosophy will help?

    Schopenhauer def won't

    Does Schopenhauer have a good message to life I can use as a guide — nazgul

    That could be a one liner at a philosophy stand up show

    No, I mean. I feel like I don't quite understand what you're looking for. What are you looking for?

    I feel like I'm getting a 'vibe' from the thinkers you've mentioned. evola, stirner, deleuze, schopenhauer, land etc. Very potent mix. You're getting that from somewhere. Where? And why are you linking it to a request for depression advice? This isn't adding up to me.

    Philosophers with a good message for life like the stoics, tao te ching, zhuangzi. Nothing political. From my research I added to my list the bhagavad gita, Dhammapada, and Upanishads.

    I hear you. but i think the more practical life advice people have been giving will be more helpful.

    Also that list of philosphers - I didn't knock for political reasons. They're all just messengers of higher more mystical intensities. Any good mystic (from the kabbalists to Gurdjieff) will warn against dabbling in that as a way to escape depression.

    Schopenhauer's good message for life: Be compassionate. — Πετροκότσυφας

    Or accept determinism and you'll immediately feel more compassionate. Are you a determinist?
