I'm a friendless 28 year old KHV NEET. I basically live the life of a secular monk already but would like to improve my mindset and spiritual health in preparation for the coming decades of solitude. I wrestle with the idea of trying to become an actual monk but I fear my faith and determination are too shaky for such a life, not to mention my social ineptitude.

I do not completely despise myself, but there are several things I must improve. For one I am incredibly unchaste and constantly find myself in a lustful haze. I am also incredibly slothful and gluttonous, though I have evaded obesity by forcing myself to leave the house every day (walk my dogs, go to the gym). Perhaps worst of all I am wrathful, though my lifestyle has mitigated the risk of getting angry too often.

I apologize for the long blogpost. I am simply wondering if anyone can recommend any books for people in my position. I want to be better (because I know it will improve my quality of life) but I don't know how to get there.
