For the purpose of disscusion in this topic we cam discuss how to live a better life, but it has to be philosophicly consistent with your principles.
For the ancients the most important thing was this not ethics or knowing but living life.
So, in your opinion witch philosophyes can show yoou how to live a better life.
Ideas that are truely inspiring, and that in time if they are integrated correctly can leed to a good life.
Note we are talking about a all ready created philosophyes, that wer proven to work.

Hedonism. Just find yourself something that gives you the kick and live off of it. It's not even that hard to find pleasure these days, just turn off the TV, stop going on social networks, and play games or whatever gives you the pleasure you need. And you don't even have to go through some big changes to manage that kind of lifestyle, that's literally the way humans work, and have worked since the dawn of time.

If life gives you communism, become a communist dictator.

@2 Hidonism can never be the way only because pleasure by itself can not be quenched.
Pleasure can never be an end
but pleasure as a concept can never be found.

What you're looking for you'll never find unless you know what it is.  What you are in fact proposing amounts to going to a car dealership in search of a cure for cancer.
The word philosophy literally translates to "the love of wisdom."  That means that to live your life philosophically you must love wisdom, which means you can't subscribe to something unless you know it is wise to do so.  Of course, by that argument you could just as easily shake me off and say I'm full of nonsense, though of course you might go about trying to make that argument in a more abstract manner.
And that is philosophy in a nutshell.  One guy says something; another guy goes about trying to disprove it to prove that he is wiser than the first.  The first guy will then set about telling the second guy why his claims are nonsense, while the second guy says that there is no such thing as nonsense.  In the end, unless you have a point of reference to go by you're left at the madness and mercy of these two idiots, plus whoever decides to join them.

When life gives you oranges, demand lemons since everyone else is obviously getting them.
