      I agree about Nitzsche, not sure what a good starting place would be there - Thus Spake Zarathustra? The Birth of Tragedy?

          I remember my Nietzsche reading was all over the place (it's been years), but I think your recommended progression is solid.

          Yeah, I'm not sure if I ever even finished Thus Spake, it's okay.

          I do remember enjoying The Birth of Tragedy, no love there?

              Fair, it's an earlier work with a narrower scope - I think it sticks out to me because all of my professors in undergrad did a bad job teaching us about the greek tragedies and Nietzsche's perspective helped make them "click" in my brain.

    Hmmm yesss, my main man Baudrillard, perhaps not the best for mental health and positivity.

    Jean-Paul Sartre maybe? He's an idealist right? It's been like a decade since I've read any of his work.

    You could try some Anti-Oedipus for the funsies.

    Theory and the thinkers we always post about helped drag me out of my depression and suicide. At least they were able to show me the ways and reasons for things/experiences that happened to me.
