Philosophical books that’s not too difficult of a read?
I’m an early 20s gal who’s trying to make sense of everything and trying to “find myself” whatever the hell that means. I’m quite new to reading philosophical works so im hoping some recos that are beginning friendly.

How to Be Perfect by Michael Schur. He is the creator of the show The Good Place. This is a humorous overview of the main philosophical schools of thought. Really well done and a great starting point for learning Philosophy IMO.

honestly i dont have a philosophical book for you but i do have a tip, dont read shitty books, if you read books that seems like you have to force yourself to read it will give you burn out and will make you hate reading. what i do suggest you read is books you truly enjoy but branch out. i usually stuck to historical romance in my 20s and now im almost 30 and mostly enjoy sci fi and fantasy without much smut. I can tell you the change has mostly to do with my love of horror and introducing my husband to audiobooks and now we read books together and that will change what you read. But just read books you enjoy and that will inform you about yourself. honestly. you dont have to read self help books to inform you on who you are.
