The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman

4.0

"Why do you fear the eternal oblivion of death, [Epicurus] wonders, if you don't look back with horror at the eternal oblivion before you were born - which, as far as you were concerned, was just as eternal, and just as much an oblivion."

In addition to vibing with my own point of view, The Antidote pointed me in the direction of several classics authors I would like to read more of, so overall a rousing success for the self-help genre.
