Book order

How to win friends and influence people and 48 laws of power are generic self-help books, powerful and life-changing in their message, but still self-help books. Start with them.

The Meditations was written by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius who was a practitioner of Stoicism, a complex Greco-Roman philosophy of life. He wrote it for himself, reflected on his actions and mistakes, noted philosophical insights. It is not recommended to read the Meditations without previous knowledge of Stoicism since it is important to understand what he wrote. Unlike the other two books, the Meditations are to be read with additional reading material and previous knowledge in order to unleash its full potential.

Pierre Hadot gives the best explanations of Stoic themes in his book "The Inner Citadel". More Supplementary material: /r/Stoicism FAQ, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Read a section of how to win friends during the day, then before bed read a chapter of power. Meditations is wordy, so I'd save it for a rainy day or coffee shop where you can simultaneously day game without looking like a complete sociopath.
