Meta: I think that this is all entirely brilliant, and I've found this very useful already.

Also, in this post or a later one, I think it would be great if you made a list of each area and links to the recommendations in the OP, like in Lukeprog's The Best Textbooks on Every Subject, because it will become hard to search through all of the posts for new recommendations.

Hopefully, it could end up looking something like this.

Well, that list of references and resources for LessWrong derailed me reading the comments for this thread by about 12 hours.

I further propose to turn the content into a wiki page as that is an organisational form that lends itself to lists like these.

By 'propose' do you mean 'intend'?

Do you think a wiki page would be more useful than an entire wiki website dedicated to this topic? I can think of hundreds of self improvement items to add, and that's not including the associated resources to study/implement the suggestions. I can see the wiki page quickly becoming very, very long and difficult to navigate. Hundreds, or even thousands of paragraphs may be hard to organize.

Honestly, I think organizing this kind of material is an unsolved problem. I have no solution for that.
