Whether you are a Nietzsche fan or Einstein hater, one of these schools of thought will change your mindset:
| 1. | Existentialism - Be that self which one truly is. - Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) |
| 2. | Nihilism - Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself. - Philip Larkin (1922-1985) |
| 3. | Secular Humanism - There is not sufficient love and goodness in the world to permit us to give some of it away to imaginary beings. - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) |
| 4. | Objectivism - Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice - and the alternative his nature offers him is: rational being or suicidal animal. Man has to be man - by choice; he has to hold his life as a value — by choice; he has to learn to sustain it - by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues - by choice. - Ayn Rand (1905-1982) |
| 5. | Absurdism - You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. - Albert Camus (1913-1960) |
| 6. | Positivism - The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence. - Thomas H. Huxley (1825-1895) |
| 7. | Epicureanism - Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. - Epicurus (341-270 BC) |
| 8. | Utilitarianism - It is better to be a human being dissatisfied, than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. - John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) |
| 9. | Determinism - Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) |
| 10. | Solipsism - Nothing exists; Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; Even if something could be known about it, knowledge about it can’t be communicated to others. - Gorgias (485-375 BC) |
