Need advice from redpill men

Hello RedPillers. I'm a 22years old guy, I will graduate on the 22nd of March and I will be a radiographer. This is not my dream job, so I will do other things I think. I decided to take an entire month (April) only for myself, to find out what I want to do with my life, an entire month to find myself. What can I do to become a better man?
I know, this is a life long learning process and I've started 6-7 months ago, but with university, exams and other shits I wasn't able to focus only on improving myself.

I have already decided to read those three books during this month: 1. The power of now. 2. The way of the superior man. 3. A guide to the good life - the ancient art of stoic joy.

It has been two years since I started working out, so don't tell me to start lifting, I know I have to :)

How can I improve my game?

I'm ready to make whatever it takes, I have nothing to lose, nobody in this city will see me again.

ANY advice will be appreciated, you can write whatever you have found useful: links, film, tv series, drugs ecc.
Help me if you can.

English is not my first language, please be tolerant.

Hello RedApathy, you are right, I gave you very little infos. But I don't want the magic pill, I just need general tips and advice to improve myself.
What helped you become what you are?

You're a generous man, you wanted to give me very detailed advices. But I would really appreciate to know what helped YOU.

"Lift, read, and approach."

Those are not useful tips. Anyone (also outsiders of the redpill could write that).
Maybe you can change my life telling me which books you've read, and which one you liked the most.
You could help me describing the biggest mindset change that you have accomplished.
You could tell me the most important thing in your opinion about the RedPill or "the game.

If you can do that, thank you for sharing your precious informations; if you cant, thank you anyway for your time :)

Okay, I will tell you some things about me.

First, I ghosted everyone that knew me as a Blue Pill guy. Now, an inherent part of ghosting is being alone. When most people tell you they are independent, it's fucking bullshit. Emerson wrote a great deal on self-reliance.

Here is an essay by Emerson on the subject of self-reliance. It is both a great introduction to his views and how beautifully he writes. http://www.emersoncentral.com/selfreliance.htm

Here is a collection of Emerson's essays. Ignore the 1 star review, which is for the Kindle version of the book, but heed it and buy the physical book instead of the Kindle version. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1598530844/

Emerson was friend and mentor to Thoreau, who wrote the following account of his two-year stay in a cabin near Walden Pond. One of Thoreau's goals was self-sufficiency. http://www.amazon.com/Walden-A-Fully-Annotated-Edition/dp/0300104669

Here is some further reading. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0762415339/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1492777862/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0199291152/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0802150926/

You mention you are going to be a radiographer soon. Now, I have seen said on TRP that some here do not see the point in film, but I fucking love film. Now, there is one film in particular that I think relates to your situation incredibly. That is Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ikiru/ Ikiru is about a Japanese man who, near the end of his life, learns he has a terminal disease. He has, up to that point, wasted his whole life at his government job. Learning of his illness inspires in the main character a will to change, and seeing him undergo that inspires change in those around him. But, and this is another lesson to be learned from the film, we see that the main character's transformation has no lasting effect on those around him. Change has to come from within.

Another film seriously worth watching is Whiplash. I saw it mentioned in this subreddit in passing and am glad I did. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7d_jQycdQGo

If you want me to elaborate on the things that I didn't, ask. I have a lot more film recommendations, but cannot recommend any more books, as I do not read that much. I don't recommend any music as I would consider most of what I listen to to be blue pill.
