If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. --Lao Tzu

 There are so many wonderful resources available out there with lots of great information. If you've ever walked into the "self-help" section of the bookstore or browsed online, it can be tough to know which books are truly useful compared to those that are mostly nonsense or fluff. I'm sharing a list (in no particular order) of some of the books I often find myself suggestions to clients. Some are helpful workbooks with exercises that focus on a particular issue or concern (e.g., self-esteem, physical pain, memory), others explore personal issues and offer a framework for a new perspective (e.g, perfectionism, indecision, gratitude), and others are just interesting or fun to read.
