As a college graduation gift, a friend of mine got me The Real Simple Guide to Real Life: Adulthood Made Easy by the editors of Real Simple (women's lifestyle magazine). It covers a number of topics like job hunting, budgeting, and healh care.

@Chiaroscuro1

it's a book full of journal excercises. kinda like writing prompts. I liked it because they helped me to turn problems around in my mind so i could see them from different angles. i gained perspective, and it was a welcome break from the usual rant/stream of thoughts method.

@Ar2018 - It does help to have a bit of an understanding about people having different love languages.

@Anomalia self-helf books are b*u*ll*s*h*i*t. rather read some good research book on your favourite topic. and practical activities such as sports would go a long way in self-help.

For those who like books along the lines of Dont Sweat the Small Stuff, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** by Mark Manson is worth a read.

@Anomalia,I have read "how to stop worrying and start living" by Dale Carnegie.I must admit its realistic and pretty practical too.Like it emphasizes the one thing that keeps a person sane-Being occupied with work.So it really helped......Worth a read definitely....
