I’m on my self improvement journey as a 24 yr old male living in the west. I’m already going to the gym but I realize that reading is an important part of self improvement and wanted some books on the topic, post some gems I already know about the popular ones from youtube.

Hi OP.
I think your best bet for self-improvement at 24 years of age is reading the Greeks. Their thought is the foundation of western civilization, and you will never, ever be considered erudite if you are not intimately familiar with them, but will be shunned as a parvenu-fuckboy by every elite person in the world.
So start with the greeks - Plato and Aristotle in particular, but do not miss the greek playwrights either.

The guys entire philosophy is a contradiction. “Women are succubus, so scam other people with risky investments such as crypto and droppshipping, so you can work yourself to the bone, so you can buy meaningless expensive things, all so you can give money to have cheap sex with random women. Also bodybuilding is gay, you need to physically assault other people to be a man. Something something heres painfully obvious advice so I look somewhat sane.”

>all those litcels seething and sperging out
Reminder that Tate is closer to the concept of the Übermensch then you pathetic slobs will ever be:
>„Nietzsches Bild vom Übermenschen ist ambivalent, und es verbirgt sich darin ein existenzielles Drama. Der Übermensch repräsentiert einen höheren biologischen Typus, er könnte das Produkt einer zielstrebigen Züchtung sein; er ist aber auch ein Ideal für jeden, der Macht über sich selbst gewinnen und seine Tugenden pflegen und entfalten will"

Regarding you post OP, pic related is a good start
Sure it contains some filler books but since they are easy to read they might help you to commit to a reading habit (remember just reading 10 pages daily is better than reading none at all and the basis of forming positive habits is to increase the frequency and not the duration of a habit)

As someone who has been doing this for a few years, I think the drive behind "self-improvement" is a good thing, but it should be approached systematically and foundationally. Self-improvement, if done for no other purpose than itself, becomes a pointless masturbation. You need to have a reason to improve, and this reason should not be based on carnal pleasures, plain egoism, or materialistic greed. If it is not done for the sake of a higher principle, then it's pointless. Take a clue from Tate, who after all of his success had to convert to Islam. First read some foundational literature and philosophy, and especially the religious texts, to build a coherent and fulfilling worldview and values. Read the Greeks, the Bible and/or the Qur'an, and read contemporary authors who have seriously engaged with the subject of religion and spirituality and their place in the modern world. These include Jung, Eliade, Guénon, Evola, etc. While you are building a solid grounding in beliefs and spirituality, start physical exercise (seems like the OP is already doing it). In addition to the gym, it would be immensely helpful to learn/practice a combat sport as well. The next step is making money. With regards to this, I can't really give generalized advice (I'm currently working on it myself). Just make sure you don't end up being a wageslave who wastes away all of his time and effort only so that someone else at the top becomes richer. Find some way to make good money without wageslaving.

Reading books for leisure will not contribute to your life in any way. Apart from reading textbooks for school or a career, its pointless. None of the successful men I know have ever read outside of a school environment. They were all either tall (high sexual success) or very intelligent (high financial success). Reading books for le fun was irrelevant.

I am so glad I liste ed to Top G's advice and stopped reading.
Reading was the only thing holding me back.
My first hustle was selling my books on Letgo.
I started getting into random fights in the clubs just for the sake of it.
Once the hoes smelled my pheromoans, I tasted pussy for the first time.
Now I can't get enough of it.
I wouldn't advise you to follow Cobra's advice if you're a pussy.
Just last night, my potential enemies tried to assassinate me and my bodyguard in our hotel room while we were shooting roids.
They let in a python through the ventilation shaft.
My bodyguard immediately rushed the snake trying to protect me.
I was kind of worried about him.
His bones were breaking.
I mean, what did you expect trying to outwrestle a giant ass python?
Then I kicked that python with my leg.
One kick.
One punch.
Two kick.
Two punch.
I smashed him with my elbow and it was dying.
I just instinctively started biting the snake.
I don't know exactly why.
Now I'm thinking that it was my spiritual animal, you know.
It forced me to consume flesh of my prey.
Now I only eat raw meat of exotic animals.
I just want to say thanks to Andrew for turning me into a G.
Lil G out.

Why would I want to get laid? I've done it before many times. Doesn't fix anything. Biggest problem is masturbating, and sex is just a substitute for it. Foggy mind, distracted by lust. I don't want it period. For at least ten years. When I'm done accomplishing what I want, I'll go back to sex to start a family.
