What would be one recommedation ? Come to know the 6 schools of thought . How does one do that ? Consider ' The Systems of Indian Philosophy' by Subodh Kapoor ( ISBN 81-7755-887-0 , a 2 book set)
Why start with reading ? Knowledge is the basis of correct action. Come to understand the subject you are considering a bit more. No different then driving a car, no ? What are the rules of the road, what of the all the buttons and knobs in the car ? What do they do ?
Now just like driving you need not worry about how the gears and transmission work, how the engine converts energy to motion. Get to know your subject matter a bit better.
Many here can assist you on entry level reading - there is an ocean of knowledge for one's benefit.
