Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check it out. I have similar reservations about the self-abnegation aspects attributed to Buddhism, but if it could be used similar to Stoicism as a form of mental self-control then that could be very useful.

btw, have you seen my other comment in this thread or considered checking out /s/altreligion? I'm asking everyone ITT because this is probably my all-time favorite subject in this intellectual space.

The book will address any questions or misconceptions you may have about Buddhism - if there is still anything unclear, you can try rereading or PM-ing me some questions.

I saw your comment and I am aware of /s/altreligion, but I am not sure exactly what you are asking me, since you are being a bit vague. I am also very interested in religion, but personally I have found it far more worthwhile to pursue that interest by engaging directly with ancient sources or with Traditionalist texts. Many interesting texts and authors have already been mentioned in this thread - Plato, Plotinus, Evola, the Bhagavad Gita, etc. etc. The issue is that very few people bother to actually read them.
