Best book to read about nihilism?

If youreally want to know about Nihilism, I would suggest Friedrich Nietzsche'sThe Will To Power.My second suggestion would be don't. Nihilism is an intriguing topic but there are several... 'but's.I, in a philosophical tumult spiralled down quite badly earlier this year. I self discovered the theory of Nihilism and wrote a lot of theories as such. I then stumbled across Nihilism and went deeper and deeper into the topic. Of course in the ignorance of a world we live in, we are going to search for answers and not discover any. That does NOT mean they don't exist. I ended up in an extremely bad place doing extremely bad things and I am forever grateful to a wonderful friend of mine who was able to pull me out. Nihilism is the passing away of meaning. When you have to much power or meaning thrust upon you in this unfair and divided world, you often pass a lot of it off. Nihilism is no more true than Santa (sorry kids) or ScientologyIf you want to know the "secrets" of the universe. Read the book The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. Or look in a mirror... The world around you is within you. You are one with everything. You were immortal before you were born and will be immortal after you die. Do not worry about the future, do not regret the past, just keep yourself in the present. Please just read a wiki page on nihilism, or an exert from a blog. Just don't get yourself caught up in any of that because it is definitely not worth it. And i really and utterly mean it with all my being. Read Dan Millman's book, or Eckhart Tolle's The Power Of Now. You'll be thanking me i guarantee you.Peace.m.
