Used to be a fan of Peterson, grew out of him over time. I'd seriously reccomend The Myth of Sissyphus by A. Camus philosophy-wise, imo it counters existentialism quite well.

I am introducing one of my favorite books. I wrote a Facharbeit about this so I can tell pretty much about it. Unfortunality my english is not that good so I do it quite simple. I am introducing Sofies Welt https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51a8TrYtq1L._SX319_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg Its from Jostein Gaardner and this book should be a kids book. The story was also simple. A little girl gets messages from a mysterious man who knows Sofie and telling him the Evolution of Philosophie step by step. Asking many question about life, quality, whats wrong and whats right and how the human thinking about till today unsolved question were tried to answere. In this book you learn the history of philosophy easily explained, it gives questionable problems Sofie should solve but also you- the reader himself- followed with a little side story about Sofies life and why the youth of today acting like they are acting. As I said it should be a kids book but the intelectuall masterpiece of this book attracted many adults and it was a worldwide hit. Translated in 50 languages and got one meh movie in 1999. I had the feeling I was smart as fuck after I finnished this book. Everything were so clear. This book changes you on a way you never thought of.
