What kind of philosophy is useful for self improvement/life in general?

Would something like stoicism be a good place to start? Basically looking for philosophers or "genres" of philosophy that look at the way we live our lives.

This depends on how you define "improvement".

Do you wish to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless world? Look at existentialism.

Do you feel conflicted internally and wish for balance? Look to Plato and the allegory of the chariot.

Do you want to overcome desire? Buddhism might be interesting.
