What are some good books to read for self-improvement in any way?
Jow Forums approved books
Evola
Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. A good example of a life well lived. Franklin was actually fairly Jow Forums in his youth before he got fat later in life, which is how most people know him.

Start with the Greeks
I know this is a /lit/ meme, but classic mythology is pretty rad. The Hamilton book is the gold standard of introductions of mythology. Homer's books are surprisingly readable if you get a decent translation (I've read Fagles' translation)

My go-to for inspiring myself to get off my ass and go have some adventures.

Most of these books will benefit no one and only have value in terms of being pretentious and talking about how well read you are.
Learn what resonates with you and read those books, judge for yourself what you like and dont like.
