I second reading Seneca and Nietzsche. And I can't recommend https://www.youtube.com/user/academyofideas https://www.youtube.com/user/academyofideas highly enough. This channel will be really helpful for your journey. Start e.g. with this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYxecbGotUyqiNRXY_VrUvF952rLmyNl https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYxecbGotUyqiNRXY_Vr... I also recommend reading about the Graves model [1] and cognitive biases [2]. Another thing worth reading is the unified theory of psychology [3] and understanding the meaning of life and your belief system as psychological phenomena. It's also very helpful to get a certain perspective about the relationship between emotions, rational thinking and yourself (no good link for that, unfortunately).
