Self help gets a bad name because of the amount of dross in the genre. These are the ones I would recommend.

How to fail at almost everything and still win big- Scott Adams

How to win friends and influence people- Dale Carnegie

Black Box Thinking- Matthew Syed

Atomic Habits- James Clear

Influence- Robert Cialdini

I'd also tentatively recommend The Art of Thinking Clearly and The are of a good life by Rolf Dobeli. I say tentatively because it's obvious he plagiarised much of them (From books like Thinking fast and slow, The Black swan etc.). However having read most of the books he ripped the ideas from, I can say that he actually did a pretty decent job making the ideas more accessible and easy to swallow. Make of that what you will.

Reading self help got me into reading as a hobby. Once I realised that books could offer actionable and valuable insight that could improve my life, I have been consuming books non-stop.

Ligottis Horror is great in my opinion.
I started with conspiracy but I could go through with it because it is quite dull.
I like my existential dread to be invoked and experienced not just simply stated.
