Even though it doesn't look like this last months I have been working a lot on the website. This week I finished the wiki format for every philosopher I have read, making it a lot easier for anyone to go through the content.

I have something big planned for people who want to get started in philosophy. A format that will give different approaches to philosophy based on necessity, interest, and difficulty level. However this will take time, I still need to organize all the topics and build the page where we see each philosopher being criticized by all others.

I will be able to organize all of this by the end of this year because I started a new routine where I wake up at 5h45am having 3h for my studies before going to work.

But if you are motivated to start somewhere and don't want to wait, I recommend this book. Just let me know if you have more questions about the website or want a more specific book recommendation.

I recommend the Great Courses course: 'Great Philosophical Debates: Free Will and Determinism'.

Here is a link to the version on their website:

You can also get it on Audible! That is how I listened to it. :)

I think Plato and Platypus walk into a bar is a fun place to start. It won't go deep, but it'll give you a gentle and silly introduction - which can be for the best sometimes!

1. For a complete beginner, what book would you recommend they read first? ( for context I've read only a handful of books this year and I kind of get irritated when I do not understand the text)

The first philosophy book I read was A little history of Philosophy by Nigel Warburton, it just fascinated me that there where other ways to perceive this world, after that I jumped into the pre socratics.

1. How should I approach reading Philosophy books and getting the most out of them?

There is a formula, I have been working on her for years on how I constructed this habit. It is a bit complex, maybe I'll do a video about it. But to give you a direct answer:

- Set your first reading goals realistically. (Don't say you'll read 10 books a week because reading is just like a sport, you need to warm up)

- Find something in it that you are interested in. I was always looking for hidden knowledges.

- After a while, you'll see that philosophy is something that will bring you the right questions, and with that a comfortable way of understanding yourself and the world around you. What I mean by comfortable is a kind of happiness.
