I have been told that this book is very good from some bros so I'd figured this book would be a great intro to philosophy. I am a novice but I've heard about the Stoics and their way of life sounds interesting to me. Anyways, my question is do you consciously subscribe to or adopt some aspect of a philosophy? I'll just list some names but feel free to mention any that sparked their interest!

Leibniz Nietzsche Spinoza Hobbes Dostoevsky Marx Locke Plato Aristotle
