nihilism and existentialism helped me overcome quite a lot. things like Thomas Ligotti's "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race", and Emil Cioran's "The trouble with being born" have opened my eyes to a new way of thinking that doesn't revolve around societies fetishism of positivity & optimism.

对我来说，那种“醍醐灌顶”的感觉来自埃米尔·乔兰的书《出生的不便》（这本书在英语里的实际书名是《出生之害》The Trouble with Being Born，但我更喜欢更贴近法语原名的说法）。给出的理由极具说服力。
To me the "revelation" came via Emil Cioran's book "The inconvenience of being born" (the actual book's title in English is "The Trouble with Being Born", but I like better the term that's closer to the French original). Excellent justification.

虚无主义和存在主义帮我挺过了许多难关。像托马斯·利戈蒂的《反人类的阴谋》和埃米尔·乔兰的《出生之害》，让我大开眼界，接触到了一种全新的思维方式，不再围着整个社会对正能量和乐观主义的盲目崇拜打转。

……涵盖了亚里士多德、斯宾诺莎、尼采和伍迪·艾伦等人的理论，并按不同美德进行分类，非常新颖。文笔棒极了。还有乔兰的任何作品，比如《出生之害》。我可不想给自己贴标签！:) 最后最后，《苏菲的世界》和《禅与摩托车维修艺术》虽然是挺不错的小书，但根本算不上真正的哲学书。这也是为什么我不会推荐……

……这里摘录一段 E.M. 乔兰的话（希望不会显得太虚无或太悲观）——这一年里我似乎越来越能理解他了——出自他那本充满警句的哲学书《出生之害》：“一位在大猩猩自然栖息地观察它们的动物学家感到十分惊讶，因为它们的生活极其单调，而且极度无所事事。几个小时又几个小时什么都不干。难道它们不知道无聊吗？这……
