It’s a Penguin Classic, originally published in 1963. This is a newer printing but definitely an out-of-print title. https://www.amazon.com/Tao-Te-Ching-Lao-Tzu/dp/014044131X
Here are the reading lists.
Henry Hazlitt - Economics in One Lesson
Irwin Schiff - How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't
Fredric Bastiat collection Including "The Law", which you should read too.
Murrary Rothbard - What Has Government Done to Our Money? Maybe read this first. Incredible book.
Ludwig von Mises - Human Action The first books are short. This one is long.
I don't know any good nutrition books. Just wish I had learned it.
Regarding philosophy: I would start with the existentialists, and among them Soren Kierkegaard. Because he was such an incredible philosopher, but also because his philosophy, and that of the rest of the existentialists, is so human. It is not abstract, is not about concepts exclusively. It will engage you and bring you in. A lot of philosophy is difficult when initially confronted by a novice - but not always. Also read the philosophy on the St. John's list. Those are the basics. Perhaps Plato and Aristotle most basic.
Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching) and Chuang Tzu are the 2 basic Taoist texts. Dating from 600-400 BC. They are poetic and beyond words, literally and figuratively. It would also provide a basis for other philosophy reading, though Taoism is not per se a philosophy or a religion. Plus, it is eastern so it has a different angle. Many parallels between Taoism and existentialism. But read these alongside Alan Watts' "Tao: The Watercourse Way". It might blow your mind. Excellent stuff. And not esoteric at all.
