I practice comparative philosophy and here are three books that i recommend you read to help you navigate the chaos of of life.
Religion:
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
Taoism
General:
The Prophet by Kalil Gibran
Poetry
Secular:
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy
Science fiction
All of these have wonderful insight into the madness in life and the balance and humility required to survive it.
