This would be a very sad and discouraging book, which only you and no one else would probably read, because people don't like to be told the truth. I don't know if Schopenhauer was read in his time, but today, in the age of gullible positivity and falsehood, which has not yet reached its peak, by the way, such a person would be absolutely unwelcome.
And yes, drugs and alcohol are the next phase, when all these made-up phrases and teachings don't help and you start to realize some things.😄
