As human beings, we need something to give us purpose. Philosophy itself is not that different from religion. Everyone experiences difficult periods. You can prepare for those times by thinking. Thinking is philosophy. People who think they believe in nothing are wrong. They still have their values and beliefs.
Man would rather will nothingness than not will at all.
– Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals
I do not care which philosophy or religion you select. But I advise you to find one. You need something that gives you meaning. The philosopher I enjoy the most is Nietzsche. Philosophers are smart people. You can save time by reading their ideas instead of having to build them yourself. Although you will still have to do some work yourself. A belief may be an illusion, but it can still get you going. Everything can be disproven.
If you are interested in learning about Nietzsche. I recommend the Nietzsche podcast. But start from the beginning. Nietzsche has an interesting writing style, great stories and relevant ideas. Discovering which philosophy or religion fits you can take time. Most ideas covered here are related to Nietzsche.
