While it’s not inherently a philosophy book, I really loved the moral lessons I took away from this book. It’s a wonderful read :)

by Mitch Albom It is a non-fiction memoir, apologies if that is not what you are looking for. Recently read this book, and it felt good. There is something calm and serene about it. Mostly revolving around life and death.

The Toa of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff - read at a formative time and always recenters me though I am not at all a toaist in any way The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy - I was gifted this by a beloved for graduation and truly always return to it when I feel lower than nothing. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - little needs to be said, read this often to keep on living.

I always loved philosophy in school, it’s been one of my favorite subjects to study. And with it, I feel there is so much value in the uncertainty that it often provides. while it was at first frustrating not being able to come to a concrete answer, I’ve learned that’s what makes it so important to the human experience. The person that has no tincture of their own philosophy is imprisoned by the prejudices they derive from common sense, habitual beliefs of their age or their nation. To truly open yourself to the world, and to truly take control of your mind, you cannot let those convictions grow in your mind without any co-operation or consent of your own deliberate belief. Uncertainty is inevitable in this world, and that’s ok. At a time where everything seems to be so absolute, be uncertain in your beliefs or ideas, it’s a great step to growth.
