Was wondering where I should ask for this but since there is a good amount of well-read people in LP decided its probably one of the better places for such a question
I need some good books on about how the humans mind work, why are we in constant search of approval and acknowledgement and such soapy bullshit everyone needs, also books on ego (i think those 2 things could be strongly connected as well). I d rather they re more philosophically written, but if the you think you've got something worth reading please leave author + title
read the bible, the best book you will ever need about this

Study up on the work of Carl Jung, he's the father of modern psychology. Prob plenty of not-huge books that give a summary of what his work was about. Shoutout to Xervean from here for telling me to read up on Jung.

I m quite sure i wont be able to comprehend Dostojevskij as i am too young for him. I bought "The Black Swan " - the book s good except i feel like an idiot while reading it since i need to reread some things 10 times before I understand them.
Happy that i asked here - some very good recommendations
