This book changed my lifeThe Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.
What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?
Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

ta for the lessons.'zyme, you can believe that everything that makes people happy is down to biology/society/conditioning and that everything is motivated by self interest and the desire to be happy (even altruism), and society/the sefish gene's desire to propogate and everyone that seeks such happiness is a headonist or you can believe that there is a point to all life and all things and a path to fulfillment without even needing to know what the point is.
You mention " Hence the use of the term "my philosophy" is as senseless as the term "my physics". "
I should have used the term "my belief", which is definately subjective, though it is interesting that you believe philosophy is universal - as a physicist our current laws of physics are subjective. Imagine watching your friend depart at light speed. Who ages from who's perspective?
Does Philosophy have a point apart from Philosophy?
not sayin you is thick - will still think you're the cleverest on th board, but do you agree with me or not? Are you a religious man, maaaaan?
