Pretty much any western author is a good place to start.

Depending on your reading comprehension level, you may want to start with novelists and work your way to philosophy.

Orwell and Huxley are really good, and important authors to read.

Then to Nietzshe, Decartes, Bertrand Russel, Aquinas, etc....

Also, though he's not technically western, Solzhenitsyn is really important as well, specifically Gulag Archipilago.

Also, important psychology works as well, Freud(Though he missed the mark on a few things, still very enlightening), Jung, Neumann, Becker etc..

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Sometimes known as 'The Art of the Violenly Unstoppable Doormat.'

Yeah, Carnegie is great as well.

That is a decent self-help book. The only good one I know.

Oh, I forgot Dostoevsky.

Any study in Philisophy should start with Plato or the Pre-Socratics.

Yeah, they count as western for sure.

You know what, here's one of my bookshelves. Anything on here is good to start.

Should be high enough res to read titles.

Is that yours??

Yes.

Wow, thats how I want my walls to look like 😄

I like these covers

>The Great Works of The Western World.

Shit nigga

That is goodl

It's a set bought with a really nice, but old, leather bound britanica encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is long gotten rid of due to obsolescence. They were several thousand dollars all together. Was probably 2 decades ago now.

Ah man, I will get similar ones

Focus is kinda shit on my fucked up iPhone. I'll take a new one tomorrow after I get my Note8.

Along with some others probably.

Gotta say, I recently started taking cold showers, and I think I'm additcted (not literally). It feels fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Also prevents dry scalp^^

I prefer starting my showers cold and finishing with warmth 🤷🏻 I don't get as clean in the cold

I find warm showers at first helps get the oil and dirt out, opens the pores, and then cold shower closes em up again, so warm while washing and a cold finish is 👌

🤔 I have yet to try that! I'll do it tommorow at the gym

Ended up trying it today, it was pretty good! 😄

Really? The first times for me were really uncomfortable, I kept my showers shorter.

idk if this is considered self improvement

but instead of buying bread from the store i'm baking it at home

thats cool, how much work is involved in that?

the most primitive way of doing it

is not that hard

grind up wheat seeds + mix with water

and you have dough

however various things like baking powder are good to help make the dough rise

sugar + salt and possibly other toppings are good as well
