Some of My Most Recommended Books

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. Enjoy!
