This is a great book by Irvin D. Yalom, which I loved. It presents snippets from a therapy group and a psychobiography of Arthur Schopenhauer who is known as “ Philosopher of pessimisim”.
“And what is the most terrible thing about boredom? Why do we rush to dispel it? Because it is a distraction-free state which soon enough reveals underlying unpalatable truths about existence—our insignificance, our meaningless existence, our inexorable progression to deterioration and death.”

love this book! Great discussion of the human condition, and philosophy as its cure...
also check out "When Nietzsche Wept" if you have not already!
