Default Re: books on human condition

I mentioned this in your other thread, but I can't recommend Man's Search for Meaning highly enough. In my opinion, you've got nothing to lose by reading it because even if you end up absolutely hating it, it's a short read [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell

Learned Optimism and Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman

The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck

also, a good bit off-topic but still related to psychology and the pursuit of happiness, another one I can't recommend strongly enough is Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Great great book.
