no book will help you. you need to face harsh consequences before you will learn. What you will learn about is what it is that you truly value.

Find People you want to do/do stuff with.

Ive found interpersonal irl stuff a way to get out of a malaise. Doesnt even have to be intiment. join an impromptu frisby/basketball game. clears the head. I also tried doing solo exercise like running or biking, but i dont feel like it does the trick as well. There is something in the implicity of interacting with other human beings on a casual level. And I say this as mostly an introvert too.

Clearly that’s not what you want or you wouldn’t be dissatisfied with it. Don’t compromise on your desire, anon.

Show me your to-do list OP! Post a photo or a screen cap of it. Chances are you don't need a book.
If you do have a long list of things you should be doing but wont' pull the trigger, reading a book will just be another distraction, if you feel you absolutely must have guidance then might I suggest GTD by David Allen. It basically gives you a framework for sorting out every single task you need to do by 'context' - i.e. can you do it in 2 minutes? Can you do it soon? Can you do it once you get home etc. etc.

What book will teach me the persuasive skills needed to coax people away from their Netflix and Instagram posting and actually engage in productive team-based activities with me?

Check this out. One chapter explains what they psychologically do to turn recruits (who are often shitty high school dropouts) into competent soldiers. You can just apply their framework to your own life to get shit done.
