Not sure if you are already doing this, but I'm in my 20s and the thing that is helping me more than reading is writing, specifically a journal. Not "Dear diary today I gooned to futanari hentai and smoked weed" but explaining who you want to become and plan out small changes to make that happen. Buy one of those tiny pocket notebooks with the top spiral that detectives use in movies and write a list before you go to bed of what you will do the next day. Modern self-help books aren't worth reading since you can just find a summary that has all the main points. The ideas in them are often very basic and self explanatory. Just pick a goal, find a simple and easy daily habit that helps achieve it, and attempt it every day without beating yourself up for failing. Build up from there. If your issue is you don't know what goals to set or who you want to become, then analyze yourself through writing and long walks. Books that have influenced the direction my life has gone: The New Testament (I'm not really Christian), Ecclesiastes, Siddhartha by Hesse, some of Being and Time by Heidegger, some Plato (Euthypho, Laches, Parmenides, Gorgias, Symposium, Republic), Work and Days by Hesiod, and The Death of Ivan Ilyich. A lot of the knowledge in those works isn't immediately applicable to everyday life (nor was it intended to be), but they slowly change how you think about the world.
