Thank you Patrick and Ricardo! I think Barbara Ehrenreich's "Dancing in the Streets" is a stunningly obligatory comment on the emergence of melancholy & pessimism in European cultural history. She specifically discusses its reflection in "The Birth of Tragedy"
Will Durant's book on Neitzsche; I've found it a great companion for commiserating. Another is Will Durant on Schaupenhauer. Both can be found as audiobooks on RUclips. If I'm feeling down, they work wonders as catharsis.
Studying and analyzing what was written by previous philosophers, thinkers, and scientists is no longer a popular (outdated) business, because there is another, more popular, profession that can turn him into a philosopher, thinker, and scientist (all in one package)! He still lives in the old world!

I like Will Durant's video on Blaise Pascal!
