I can say I've got through something similar. A book that made me very introspective was David Brook's The Road To Character . It made me ask my self a lot of questions which I have documented here https://www.deepthoughtapp.com/packages/55/david-brooks-humi... (https://www.deepthoughtapp.com/packages/55/david-brooks-humility-code-from-the-road-to-character/) Another book was Paul Kalanathi's When Breath Becomes Air I also copied some quotes, questions, and answers here https://www.deepthoughtapp.com/packages/135/paul-kalanithis-... (https://www.deepthoughtapp.com/packages/135/paul-kalanithis-when-breath-becomes-air/) I'd recommend reading biographies because they can help you give perspective about how a person leads their life. The ones I found thoroughly fun was Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, Phil Knight's Shoe Dog.
