Philosophy grad here! The podcast "Philosophize This!" is my favorite thing to tell people to start with. It's a great way to prod around the philosophies and decide what to read.

The Perspective Shift by Daniel Tomson came at the perfect time. Raw, real, and it truly changed how I see things.

Read the Myth of Sisyphus thinking it was Greek mythology a couple years ago haha, it was a good introduction but I’ve grown to realize I don’t enjoy Camus’s writing

This is great! What is your opinion on gifting a curious 18yr old Thus spoke Zarathustra? Too much?

I believe you’ve talked about this before but can’t seem to find the video but can you please recommend books on grief or just coping with loss. I really appreciate the way you speak about books, topics and feel like you’d have great thoughts on this. Thank you

Such great advice to study the introduction. I’ve only been doing it as of recently and it makes a world of difference. Oddly enough, Solal speaks about Sartre and Camus as literary twins in the intro to eiah! Thanks for the recommendations here

One of the things people should know when reading philosophy is that it is best understood when done in close, slow reads.
