As for individual life, it's frankly irrelevant, once you're aware that a person only exists and is bound by the spirit and the predominant ideals of its own time. What you decide, in your subjective freedom, has as its result (together with other free subjects such as yourself) an universal object of a whole nation, and this is what is worth of studying in the first place, e.g. The Republic, Politics and so on.
Self Help books

If you are a man I recommend Iron John first. Book goes into how to be a stronger version of yourself.
Another one is "King" by Elliot Hulse which goes really deep into exercise bioenergetics and touches on philosophy of being a man.
Finally I recommend "Hero with 1000 faces" as it delves deep into the "Heroes Journey" all men must go on to become the strongest version of yourself.
Don't clutter your mind with fantasy garbage unless it has practical use. Many older epics like beowulf, macbeth, dante's inferno have real life application if read correctly.

I want to help myself to that fine ass if you know what I mean

Yeah but that's a pretty narrow and ideological way of looking at art. By explicitly looking for instruction you defeat the range of imagination that a work of literature and its characters can occupy. It's like doing a marxist reading of a text, it doesnt take any effort u just apply a snapchat filter of ideology. and bam class politics. Reminds me of a friend that only liked rappers that were instructional and 2deep in their lyricism. just enjoy the guwop while you can mane
