- Apart from philosophy mentioned by the other poster, you can also read into psychology. Some branches in psychology deal with the question of how to live a fulfilled life, eg. positive psychology [1] and humanistic psychology [2]. Also Buddhism has similar goal and teachings interleave with these psychology topics [3].
To start, you can pick a Psychology 101 textbook (I like Psychology and Life [4]) and then read the people and bibliography mentioned in these Wikipedia articles.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanistic_psychology

- This was the require textbook when i took a PSY101 class, I found that it covered many aspects in psychology in friendly and easy manner, along with examples and explanations: "Psychology And Life" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0205843379/
there is also some interesting articles about psychology on the website "Psychology Today": https://www.psychologytoday.com/us
- I just bought 'Psychology and Life' sixteenth edition and pondered just how much worse an ebook version of it would have been or unbearably clunky a pdf version would be as well.
The less screen time I spend, the better I feel.
