Reading too much of it induces greater self awareness this is why hatred becomes a logical recourse, third person view or zoom out perspective is always there even if we do not read philosophy

I too like the philosophy genre very much n when i finally decided to read philosophy I was clueless so i did some research and i found stoicism very fascinating so i wanted to read more about it but the book i picked as a complete beginner to philosophy is 'sophie's world' by jostein gaarder which is my current read the book is brilliant read it whether u like philosophy or not. after this i intend to read stoic books. What according to u is a good way to read philosophy? is it to pick a school of thought say nihilism or anti natalism n read about that discover different authors n dive deep? or what other way do u recommend?

Reading philosophy is very dull and boring it’s better to listen podcasts like Philosophize This on Spotify who discuss philosophy in layman terms and gives context and meaning behind the different ideas of philosophers rather than just hovering around one idea while reading one book. Philosophy when understood through discourse (this is what Osho did) helps in context and intention of that thought as it becomes more interesting and helps us understand ourselves or the philosophy through the lens of that idea. Understanding Philosophy through discourse or podcast is best option in today’s times. Let experts break it down for with correct interpretation.
