I love your reflection. You might like 'The Overstory" by Richard Powers, which tells the interconnected tales of a diverse group of characters whose lives are also intertwined with trees. As they wrestle with modernity and its impact on the environment, they come to value the things that truly matter.
You might enjoy 'King Solomon's Mines' by H. Rider Haggard.
It's an adventure novel from 1885 that follows a group of men who are searching for their missing friend in South Africa as well as a lost treasure, the rumoured diamond mines of King Solomon. They go on an epic journey, form deep bonds and encounter unimaginable dangers.
I first read it as a kid and have returned to the story every few years for inspiration and as a reminder to never stop exploring :)
Considering your ambitions, I suggest 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Ernest Hemingway. The novel follows a Cuban fisherman who struggles to catch a giant marlin. Despite the challenges, he remains determined and focussed, eventually catching the fish after an epic battle. However, he is unable to bring it back to shore...
Wondering how to spend more time and attention on the things that matter, and which future regrets I’d most like to avoid

My focus for 2023 would be
- Becoming sexier i.e. work on my body, style and lifestyle
- Start building wealth
- Doubling down on creating content around what I'm curious about
- Bringing consistency in all focus areas
