You should read Martin Heidegger's Being and Time to start because that's all about the nature of the self and time.

I'm reading Being in Time by Heidegger and a couple other like random things. But in particular, I don't know how much Heidegger you guys have read, but he's fucking impossible to understand.
I'm struggling in reading it. I'm trying to read being in time right now.

Why people recommend it
The Concept of Time by Martin Heidegger is a profound philosophical work examining how human beings experience temporality and existence. L.A. Paul discussed the related book Being and Time on The Tim Ferriss Show, recounting how Quentin Smith recommended it when she wanted to study philosophy because it addresses the core nature of the self and time. Dan Shipper mentioned reading Heidegger on Sources with Alex Heath, noting that the text is exceptionally difficult to comprehend independently. Shipper described building a system that linked the book's pages to archived lecture recordings by Hubert Dreyfus to help decode the dense writing. Lucy Kalanithi listed the volume on On Purpose with Jay Shetty while recalling the books her late husband Paul packed in the hospital following his cancer diagnosis. Chris Dixon also talked about reading Heidegger on Conversations with Tyler during his exploration of continental philosophy, admitting that he found the text challenging. Furthermore, Sheldon Solomon discussed reading Heidegger on the Lex Fridman Podcast, connecting the philosophical themes to existential ideas about mortality and meaning.

“And he has a lecture course on being in time that is on archive.org. And as part of this, the fable went in, like grabbed the lecture. All the lectures restored it, put it into a player experience, transcribed it, and then also linked every page of the book to the parts of the lectures where he talks about that”
“And for something like Heidegger would not be able to read it without this. And sometimes I like intentionally read it in a, I want to read this first, see, see what I can get out of it and then, you know, then do the lookups like, but normally I'm just like going back and forth because it's just impossible.”
