The catcher in the rye is an amazing coming of age book that i think would be beneficial to a lot of people out there there
I was recommended the book, The Mindful Way through Depression by Mark Williams et. al. by my therapist. I haven't read it yet but, it has great reviews and looks like an interesting read. I believe there is also a free pdf versionfloating around somewhere online, and there is a workbook you can get also that accompanies the book.
"If you've ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness, a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all. In The Mindful Way through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts explain why our usual attempts to "think" our way out of a bad mood or just "snap out of it" lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life's challenges with greater resilience."

It's not for everybody, but the book Eastern Body, Western Mindby Anodea Judith has been hugely helpful to me. In fact, I've ended up buying it a few times as I tend to give away copies to friends andcolleagues!
The book integrates Western psychology with theEastern chakra system extremelywell, givinglots of insight into possiblehealing methods.There's a largenumber of topics covered: child development, trauma, addiction, codependency, sexuality, etc. It also includes a lot about the relationship between mental and somatic illness - something which I believe is typically overlooked nowadays.
If you dig the holistic approach/Jung/Maslowthen Irecommend this book enormously.
Speechless byHannaHarrington. This is one of myfavouritebooks. It helped me a lot in life. It's about a girls who finds true friends. Learns to stand up for herself and others, and to be who you are. Not who someone else is or wants you to be. It's about overcoming mistakes, and finding redemption.
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
Rising Strong - Brené Brown
The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Velveteen Rabbit - Margery Williams
All these books provide literature journeys that feel as if they can be transformed into real life, and I embark on my process of self discovery and acceptance throughtout. Never ever, read them only once.
