I want some entry tier philosophy literature recommendations to try to restructure my values and beliefs.

I can't quite explain my problem sufficiently, it just feels like I'm lost when it comes to my beliefs, I can't even figure myself out or answer questions like what defines me as a person, what are my values etc.

Sorry if my post was somewhat incoherent, english isn't my native language.

I don't know, maybe you could check out some short podcasts like ethics bites and philosophy bites? Google them, each is like 15min long. You can always google more about the subject.

Also, I think it's okay if you don't have firm beliefs and opinions on every topic. To me, it's about being more knowledgeable and understanding where different sides come from. Hope it makes sense

Alright thanks. It's just that I get confused about certain things, I can hardly tell "right" from "wrong" in some instances, it all just seems so gray.

It is gray

Start with the Greeks.

More specifically, the Apology of Socrates. It's a very straightforward text.

Read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. It's a general overview of philosohpy across the centuries, an excellent entry point for those who are coming from zero. It will help you identify the ideas you relate to the most and will want to read further on later.

Read the art of war and the book of five rings.
I'm not too into philisophy but those really resonated with me. Especially book of five rings.

OP here, was afk for a while, thanks for all recommendations.
