What book is this?

I feel like peter pan. It seems I don't want to grow up and face the duties of real life. I'm having problems in College. Maybe I have negative attitudes against duty, work and responsability. Maybe I look at duty as something wrong. Maybe I have negative attitudes towards work.
Anyways, What book would you recommend to somebody like me??? I'm looking for a book about being an adult, a book about facing responsabilities and that stuff. I have to change my attitudes!

Don't read - work.

Kinda beneath your level, maybe, but try A Hole in the World by Sid Hite. It's a great coming-of-age book that helped me through my Sturm-und-Drang period as well.

This is just a phase in university life. Go out, get wasted, get your leg over, enjoy yourself. Go back & carry on working. I am not sure about what reading material can get you through this.

Of course, Meditations ~ Marcus Aurelius may help. Nothing like a stoic to kick you up the arse a bit I suppose.

No one can stop you living according to the laws of your own personal nature,
& nothing can happen to you against the laws of the World-Nature. (book VI 58)

Stop worrying...reality will kick you up the arse soon enough anyway. Try to go with the flow. Maybe the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu will help you find your yin & yang.

In the pursuit of learning one knows more every day;
in the pursuit of the way one does less every day.
One does less & less until one does nothing at all,
& when one does nothing at all there is nothing that is undone. (book ii XLVIII)

Ever heard of "How to stop worrying and start Living" by Dale Carnegie?

[9 Bean Rows]

The Bible would be a good place to start.
