Read some Camus

Camus's philosophy revolves around reconciling the fact that the universe is both absurd and meaningless with the human need to understand and ascribe meaning to it. Whether you agree with him or not, he will make you reflect on your own conception of the world and what really matters to you.

I recommend starting with The Stranger or The Myth of Sisyphus before moving on to The Plague and The Rebel. (Camus often wrote in pairs; first he would write a work of fiction about a philosophical theme, then he would write a philosophical work on the same idea)

I could not agree more, he also embraces the meaninglessness of life and uses it as motivation to continue.
