After years of neetdom I realized it can't go on this way and I'm ready to improve.
I want to start with reading and getting the mindset and the motivation and determination to push on.
What books are good for this?
Also i want to become more "cultured" and know what people talk about, is there a newspaper just for pop-culture/normie shit?
General tips and recs welcome

Yeah, it's called "small talk". Best way to know what people are into is talking to them.

now what people talk about, is there a newspaper just for pop-culture/normie shit?
buzzfeed and shit like that
there's a youtube channel called etc news, they have a sarcastic funny vibe and they talk about mainstream and pop culture so try that

Just lurk /pol/.
We get called ignorant, but how many other groups can name a flag just like that (due to our flag collecting). How many of these "educated" people are aware of Based Duterte, leader of the Philippines. /pol/ is aware of shit going on in the world around them.

That's true but I need to know what they are talking about in the first place
anyone have recs?

How can you know what they are talking about if you don't talk to them? That's the point.
Anon up there is saying /pol/ is cultured because they know who the leader of the Philippines is. I never had a conversation where that came up.
So you need to talk to classmates/coworkers to see what they are into. No internet board or news site knows what people around you are interested in.
You don't have to be a normie to be successful
Most normies are just average

Normies are not cultured, they talk about cape-shit films and what fart joke that Mcfarlene faggot drew this week.
Just because you don't want to be a NEET anymore, doesn't mean you have to become another, different type of smouldering shit heap.
My advice, read, read everything, start with pic related. Maybe start with Notes From The Underground, you'll relate a lot to the main character.
