You don't have to, plenty of ancient teachers said much of what he did in a much more coherent manner. I don't really like any philosophers after Spinoza and Boehme. I can understand why some of the nineteenth century ones might be appealing if you're totally lost in life but they offer half-cures for the modern world at best and are for people on a very low level of spiritual and mental growth.

Just read the Bible, or the Homeric epics, or the Eddas, or anything else will tell you more about the world and your place in it than reading a philosopher.
This is why Plato feared the mythmakers (poets)
