I recommend his books in general for character building, philosophical, pragmatic and insightful

Truth is *loads his gun with a history of Being* identity was dead from the start

Have you tried to just be yourself?

You are like mixing oil paint in your youth, with many colours, and time alone will have it dry and solidify as a personality. It is behavioral inertia, from your every choices, which gets you out of the split. At 30 finally, I had the semblance of a man.

First 100 pages are kind of slow

But this is my penultimate suggestion for now that I remember it. The development of a boy victim into fully versed man. Women, gambling, combat, just aspects of what it takes to overcome the harshness of life

I’m sure there are more books that also follow the growth of character that aren’t fantasy but I’ve yet to read any that really hold together as well as talon of the silver hawk
