>philosophy helps you understand life much better
As long as you don't know much about philosophy. The more you know the more confused you're gonna get if you want to get direction from it. Students of philo depts of unis doing nothing for 5 years just perpetually debating, proving and disproving every major, minor and passing thought philosophy produced during its ~2500 years of history. Which history produced only two person with actual practical impact: Nietzsche and Marx. And everyone coming after them - and history too - proved that those two dudes were more wrong than everybody else.
Philosophy is nice at one point of a man's life but that's over fast and have to step over it.
If you want useful stuff from philosophy, get logic and pass on everything else. Tho logic is not exclusive to philosophy.
