I’ve been looking at “how to reassess your chess” as a very commonly recommended one.
How To Reassess your Chess by Silman is excellent for developing your positional awareness
For positional play, I would recommend his "How to Reassess Your Chess" at your level.
Another thing I’d recommend is getting the book “How to reassess your chess, 4th edition” by Jeremy Sillman. Completely changed how I approach my games and the positions im in.
Possibilities recommendations (in order, if you haven't read them): "How To Reassess Your Chess," "The Art of Attack", "Understanding Chess, Move by Move" by Nunn.
Silman's Complete Endgame Course

Silman’s book is very likely the only book on theoretical endgames you’ll need for a long time. Quality book on a fundamental topic, presented well with no unnecessary fluff.
first you have to go through basic endgames (say DeLaVilla's"100 Endgames..." or Silman's "Complete endgame Course")
Silman's complete endgame course is my Bible and made my endgame step up so much. It's very well structured, you can skip the first chapters at your level but the last ones will give you very important theoretical knowledge.
If you want to improve your endgame overall, I suggest reading silman's complete endgame course.
The answers I believe in here are Silman's Complete Endgame Course (which shares a lot of your philosophy - there's no N+B mate in it)
