Self-help Books

by Brianna Wiest.

 This is the year you change your life. International bestseller in 40+ languages, Wiest is one of the most widely-read voices in contemporary personal development. Featured in People Magazine, TODAY, Yoga Journal, Harper's Bazaar, and Women.com, which named "The Pivot Year" one of the best books of the 2020s. This book was born from Wiest's own journals. The book is 365 daily meditations, one for each day of the year, each one short enough to read in minutes and spacious enough to stay with you for hours. The intended use is specific: read one passage in the morning, then let it live in you throughout the day — returning to it in the in-between moments, the commute, the pause before a decision, the quiet before sleep. The goal of each page is not to give you an answer, but to introduce an idea that provokes a series of questions within you. Questions about the parameters of your fear. Your true intentions. What's actually holding you back. What you would do if you weren't waiting to feel

by Brianna Wiest

Internationally bestselling author of The Mountain Is You, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, The Pivot Year, and more. Her books have sold over 1 million copies worldwide, appear regularly on international bestseller lists, and are translated into more than 40 languages. In May 2024, Brianna Wiest returned to Elizabethtown College to deliver the commencement address to its graduating class. "The 9 Things Every Graduate Should Know" is that speech, transcribed and designed as a book: nine lessons she wishes she had known at the moment of her own beginning, written to an audience of one — the version of herself standing on exactly that threshold. A few of these lesson: 1. Don't reject yourself first. The world will have plenty of chances to reject you. Don't give it a head start by never entering the arena. Victories, Wiest argues, become inevitabilities — but only for those who keep going.

by Rebecca Simon

A devotional that meets you exactly where you are — and gives you the words to pray when you don't have any of your own. "Finding God Every Day: 111 Devotionals for Women Healing Through Faith" is the second book from bestselling Christian writer Rebecca Simon, author of Let Go, Trust God. Where her first book is a gentle, reflective companion for seasons of waiting and surrender, this one is a structured daily devotional practice — 111 entries, each built around a Bible verse, a written reflection, and an original prayer by Simon — designed to ground modern women in faith, one day at a time. Spanning more than 400 pages, the book covers the emotional and spiritual terrain that women are most likely to bring silently to God: anxiety, the weight of the past, self-worth, the pressure to hold everything together, relationships that have wounded them, purpose that feels out of reach, and the quiet ache of unanswered prayers. 

The Unspoken Laws of Power, Magnetism, and Self-Respect. From Sabrina Alexis Bendory — relationship expert, co-founder of A New Mode, one of the web's most-read relationship advice platforms, reaching millions of women, and one of the most followed dating and relationship experts on TikTok. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Newsweek, and the New York Post. She's the author of the bestsellers You're Overthinking It (2023) and Detached (2025), and has over 15 years of studying the mechanics of dating and love.  For the woman who will never lose herself again. You loved hard. You stayed too long. You gave more than you had — and called it devotion. And when it fell apart, you didn't just lose him. You lost yourself. Your judgment. Your instincts. Your ability to trust that you even know what love is anymore. This book is for the woman who is done — but still doesn't understand why she keeps ending up here. The Feminine Code begins by exploring how you were programmed — by culture, by conditioning, by your nervous system — to believe that your worth is measured by being chosen. Why chaos felt like chemistry. Why breadcrumbs felt like nourishment. Why you abandoned yourself and called it love. Then it breaks the spell. It decodes love-bombing, gaslighting, the push-pull cycle, and manufactured intimacy — not to scare you, but so you can finally see the machinery behind what felt like magic. When you understand the pattern, you become nearly impossible to manipulate. And then it introduces the Laws of Feminine Power. Silence and mystery. Emotional regulation. These aren't games or tactics. They're internal codes that change how you move through the world. You become the woman who doesn't need to chase, over-give, or shrink to be loved. Not because you learned a strategy, but because you changed at the level of identity. This is the dark feminine not as mysticism or manipulation, but as psychological reality: the inner stability, calm power, and self-possession that makes you magnetic not by trying harder, but by finally stopping. Perfect for: -Women who have been through a relationship with a narcissist, love-bomber, or emotionally unavailable partner and want to finally understand the pattern, not just survive it -Readers of Attached (Amir Levine), Natasha Adamo, or Matthew Hussey who want psychologically grounded relationship insight with a strong focus on feminine identity and self-worth -Anyone who has read Detached or You're Overthinking It and is ready for the next stage — not healing, but becoming -Women drawn to the dark feminine concept who want something psychologically rigorous rather than esoteric or tactical — internal codes, not games.

by Sabrina Alexis Bendory

Her work has been featured in Vogue, Newsweek, and the New York Post.

This book is her most comprehensive work to date — a practical, deeply honest guide to breaking the cycle of anxious attachment, emotional unavailability, and self-abandonment in relationships.

For the one who is still trusting, still waiting, still holding onto faith in a season that isn't making sense yet. "Let Go, Trust God, Become Who You Were Meant To Be" is the debut book from Rebecca Simon — Christian writer, poet, and essayist, and author of the follow-up devotional Finding God Every Day: 111 Devotionals for Women Healing Through Faith. Written with rare softness and spiritual honesty, this is not a step-by-step guide or a theology textbook. It's a gentle companion for the in-between seasons — the ones where the prayer hasn't been answered yet, the relationship hasn't arrived, the path forward isn't clear, and you're not sure whether you're healing or just surviving. Simon writes specifically for those who are learning to surrender control — not just of people, but of timelines, expectations, and the quiet fear that they have somehow missed their moment or been passed over by God's plan.

The expectations we feel from others today can make us feel that we are not enough. That we should want more, do more, and be more. After a car accident in 2018 that left her with a traumatic brain injury that she still deals with today, author Faith Broussard Cade was in a place of trauma and brokenness.

Faith's hand-penned notes sharing about her struggles on her Instagram account, @fleurdelisspeaks, has helped thousands of others do the same.

The expectations you live with today do not have to define you. You are enough!

Hardcover Adult

By Heidi Priebe

 Moving on is one of the hardest things we do — and almost no one teaches us how. "This Is Me Letting You Go" is a collection of honest, emotionally resonant essays by Heidi Priebe that explores what it truly means to release the people, relationships, and chapters of life we aren't ready to leave behind. Whether you're navigating a breakup, the end of a friendship, a lost opportunity, or a version of yourself you've outgrown, this book meets you exactly where you are. Priebe writes with rare candor about the messy, non-linear reality of letting go — the grief, the resistance, the moments of clarity, and ultimately, the unexpected freedom that comes from moving forward. These aren't prescriptive steps or toxic positivity. They are raw, relatable meditations for anyone who has ever loved something deeply and had to choose to release it anyway. Perfect for readers who: -Are healing after a breakup or the loss of a relationship -Feel stuck between holding on and moving forward -Love personal essay collections with emotional depth -Want comfort and perspective during a period of transition or grief A thoughtful gift for a friend going through heartbreak or a meaningful read for anyone at a crossroads.

By Brianna Wiest

Transforming self-sabotage into self-mastery. From Brianna Wiest — international bestselling author and one of the most-read voices in personal development of the last decade. Featured on TODAY, Oprah Daily, Forbes, Harper's Bazaar, Psychology Today, Selena Gomez's Wondermind, and Rick Rubin's Tetragrammaton. Her books have sold millions of copies and are being translated into 40+ languages. With over 1 million copies sold and a quote that has been read more than 75 million times, The Mountain Is You is not just a bestseller — it is a cultural touchstone. Here is the central idea of this book, stated plainly: you are not sabotaging yourself because something is wrong with you. You are sabotaging yourself because two parts of you want different things, and the part you're not listening to is winning. Your conscious mind has goals. Your unconscious mind has needs. When those two are in conflict, the unconscious wins — every time. The result looks like procrastination, self-defeat, chronic anxiety, relationships that keep failing, goals you keep almost reaching. But those patterns are not evidence of brokenness. They are messages. This book teaches you to read them. Wiest structures the journey in three parts: first, observing the mountain — understanding the nature and roots of your self-sabotage without judgment. Then ascending it — the active, often uncomfortable work of rewiring patterns, building emotional intelligence, and learning to act from your highest potential self. Finally, reaching the summit — not a destination of perfection, but a new relationship with yourself built on awareness, resilience, and self-mastery. Along the way, the book covers the psychology of emotional avoidance, the neuroscience of trauma stored in the body, the mechanics of the shadow self, how core needs generate unconscious commitments, and the crucial distinction between circumstances that are chronic versus those that are situational. It is intellectually grounded without being clinical, and practical without being reductive. Inc. named it one of the top 5 books to improve leadership mindset. Entrepreneur listed it among the top 10 books for self-esteem. It ranked #1 on the Associated Press US Audiobooks Top 10. Perfect for readers who: -Keep getting in their own way — in their career, relationships, creative work, or finances — and can't understand why, despite genuine effort and self-awareness -Have tried traditional productivity and goal-setting approaches and found that the problem seems to run deeper -Are ready for something more rigorous than affirmations but are not currently in clinical therapy -Discovered this book through TikTok, Instagram, or a friend who pressed it into their hands and said "you need this" 

by Charis Ed

Oncology RN and poet. By day, she administers chemotherapy to patients facing the hardest chapters of their lives. By night, she writes about love. The combination gives her poetry a weight and clarity that only comes from someone who has watched what people carry, what they give away, and what remains. All the love you have ever felt is still inside you. This book is about learning to recognize it. "All The Love You Carry" is a 306-page collection of poetry and prose structured in three movements, each devoted to a different face of love. The first honors love when it arrives — the wonder of it, the way it changes you, the fullness of being known by another person. The second moves through the pain of love lost — the grief of an ending, the slow work of growing around what remains, the discovery that loss does not diminish what was real. The third turns inward — toward self-love not as a destination you arrive at after healing, but as the foundation that was always already there, waiting to be remembered. Charis Ed's central argument, woven through all three parts, is that love is not something you search for outside yourself and either find or lose. It is something you carry — in every relationship that shaped you, in every loss that changed you, in the accumulated weight of everyone you have ever loved or been loved by. The work is not to fill yourself with more love. It is to recognize the love you are already full of. At 306 pages, the book is substantial enough to read across weeks and specific enough that any single page can meet you where you are. Readers describe particular lines landing with surprising force, and recommend returning to it in different moods rather than reading straight through — there is an entry for whatever you happen to be carrying the day you open it. Perfect for readers who: -Are moving through a romantic loss and need language for what they're feeling that doesn't rush them toward being over it -Are working on self-love and want poetry that approaches it spiritually rather than as a checklist -Are drawn to the idea of love as a cosmic or universal force — something larger than any single relationship -Want a poetry collection they can return to across years, not just read once 

by Eileen Lamb

Founder of The Autism Cafe, Director of Social Media at Autism Speaks, author, photographer, and podcast host. Author of "All Across The Spectrum," "Be The One," and "And Yet — Here You Are." She fosters a highly engaged community of 144,000+ Instagram followers who follow her journey as an autistic woman raising two autistic sons, one with profound autism. You made it through something you weren't sure you would survive. Maybe you still aren't sure how. "And Yet — Here You Are" is Eileen Lamb's most personal book — written not from a place of reflection, but from the middle of it. Where "Be The One" celebrated vulnerability and the beauty of feeling deeply, this book goes somewhere harder: into the territory of real loss, real fear, and the quiet, bewildering strength it takes to keep going when everything you thought you knew has been dismantled. This book wrestles with questions that have no clean answers — how to comfort someone whose worst fear has just become reality, how to navigate the loss of a person you vowed forever to, whether the unforgivable can ever find forgiveness. It is a raw glimpse into the mind of someone who confronted her greatest fear and emerged stronger. That honesty is the book's greatest strength. Lamb doesn't resolve the contradictions or offer a tidy arc from pain to peace. She acknowledges that you can believe one thing on page 7 and the opposite on page 14 — and that this isn't failure, it's what surviving actually looks like. The 144 pages of short prose passages are written to be returned to as you move through your own recovery, each piece landing differently depending on where you are in the process. The title says everything about the book's philosophy: not you survived as triumph, but and yet — here you are as something quieter, more honest, and harder-won. You are not here because it was easy. You are here despite everything. Perfect for readers who: -Are in or emerging from a period of real loss — a relationship, a death, a version of themselves they had to leave behind -Feel like they've been through something no one around them fully understands -Want short prose they can return to on the hardest days, not a linear narrative that demands they be in a stable place to read -Loved "Be The One" and want Lamb's next, deeper, more vulnerable work -Are drawn to the honest, survival-focused register of Jacqueline Whitney's Stay Until Tomorrow or Molly Burford's Moments To Hold Close

By Bianca Sparacino

 Some books are read once. This one gets picked up again and again — on the hard days, the healing days, and the quiet ones in between. "A Gentle Reminder" by Bianca Sparacino is a collection of poetic prose and reflections written for the "deep feelers" — those who love with their whole hearts, struggle with self-worth, and carry the weight of who they used to be. With over one million copies sold worldwide, Sparacino's words have become a trusted companion for readers in the middle of some of life's most difficult passages. This book is about self-love, healing from the past, and learning to believe you are worthy of the love you so freely give to others. It explores forgiving yourself for the places you overstayed, releasing relationships that no longer serve you, and giving yourself permission to feel both broken and hopeful at the same time. Unlike quick-hit affirmation books, each reflection invites you to take what you need, when you need it — no chapter order required. Perfect for readers who: -Are healing from heartbreak, loss, or a difficult relationship -Struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling "too much" -Want a poetry and prose collection they can return to again and again -Love the work of Rupi Kaur, R.H. Sin, or Morgan Harper Nichols -Are looking for a meaningful, comforting gift for a friend going through a hard time Honest, soft, and deeply human — A Gentle Reminder is the book that reminds you: you are not your past, you are not your faults, and you deserve to be loved the way you love others. Perfect bound paperback book featuring a beautifully textured cover with embossed rose gold metallic foil. Inspirational and encouraging prose and poetry.

by Rachel Havekost

Writer, mental health advocate, M.S. in psychology, and bestselling author. She has attended Harvard's first Mental Health Creator's Summit, given keynotes at the 988 Global Crisis Conference in Amsterdam, and received praise from New York Times mental health journalist Ellen Barry for her memoir. Her combined social media following of 300,000+ is a community built specifically around de-stigmatizing mental health. "Look Up" is a poetry collection and set of short love notes organized as a map — not a how-to, not a workbook, not a guide with steps. A hand to hold while you find your own way through. It is divided into seven sections, each named for a stage of the journey and written with a specific reading instruction so you can find exactly where you are: -Holding On — Read this when you feel stuck or trapped or unable to see what's next. When all you want is to go back in time. Read this when it's time to begin again. -Opening the Heart — Read this when you know it's time to move on, even if it hurts. Even if you still love what's lost. Read this when you're letting go. -Roaming Free — Read this when you feel lost in life. When nothing is certain and all that's familiar is behind you. Read this when you've finally let go. -Integrating — Read this when you're starting to know yourself. When you're learning what it means to be free. Read this when you're becoming you. -Zooming Out — Read this when you've healed or recovered or done the work and you're ready to test your new wings. -Opening the Mind — Read this when you doubt yourself. When old voices creep in. When you wonder if all that work was for nothing. Read this when life is testing everything you've worked for. -Navigating Forward — Read this when you're at the end of things. When your heart breaks again. Read this when something is over. You'll find what you need no matter where you start — because, as Havekost writes: "The truth is we are always at the beginning, constantly at the end, and forever right here, in the middle. There is no right way, there is the only way you do it." Perfect for: -Anyone navigating grief, loss, divorce, recovery, or a major life transition who needs something that meets them at the exact emotional stage they're in -Readers already in Havekost's ecosystem who want her voice in a more lyrical, less structured form -The BookTok mental health community (@rachelhavekost) who know her work and are looking for the poetry collection that comes from that same voice -Anyone who has been in therapy and found that sometimes a poem lands where a session didn't, who wants encouragement written by someone with genuine clinical understanding of what they're experiencing and lived experience of having experienced it -Gift buyers looking for something to give someone who is in the hard middle of grief, divorce, recovery, or change — not a workbook, not a self-help framework, but something tender that says you are not alone.

By Brianna Wiest

From the internationally bestselling author of The Mountain Is You and 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think — a book for anyone who is finally ready to do the real work of healing. "When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal" is Brianna Wiest's most direct and intimate collection: 45+ essays written for the people who have been through something that changed them, and are now trying to figure out who they are on the other side. With books sold in 40+ languages and millions of readers worldwide, Wiest has become one of the most trusted voices in contemporary self-development — and this collection represents her most focused work on the subject of emotional transformation. Wiest's central argument is that healing isn't a single moment of release. It begins with disruption — loss, heartbreak, or the quiet realization that the life you're living no longer fits — and it asks you to use that disruption to wake up: to shed the personas you adapted into, stop outsourcing your sense of worth.

by Brianna Wiest

Featured in Oprah Daily, Parade, and Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper. -From the author whose books have sold over one million copies worldwide. Some books ask you to work harder on yourself. This one asks you to stop forcing — and start arriving. "The Life That's Waiting" is the latest collection from Brianna Wiest, internationally bestselling author of "The Mountain Is You," "The Pivot Year," and "101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think," with books now translated into 40+ languages. Wiest began writing this book from a deeply personal place: a wish she had at 19 for something like a field guide to being human — not a manual of grand answers, but a companion for the messy, unspoken crossroads of life. Years of living, seeking, and writing later, this is that book. On the other side of the life you are trying to keep together, on the other side of the pain you think will never dissolve into peace, on the other side of everything you are forcing — is the life that is waiting.

By Jacqueline Whitney

Poet, TikTok creator, and author of "Beyond Worthy," "All That You Deserve," and "Stay Until Tomorrow," whose poetry and words of mental health encouragement have reached a devoted following across social media. There are no words that will take the pain of your grief away. This book doesn't try. Instead, it simply refuses to let you be alone in it. "If You're Grieving" is Jacqueline Whitney's fourth book and her most focused — written specifically for the experience of loss, in all its forms. Whitney does not approach grief as a problem to be solved or a stage to be moved through. Her central understanding is that grief does not shrink or disappear over time. We grow around it. And in the meantime, we need to be seen, heard, and reminded that what we are feeling is not something to be managed away but something to be moved through with as much gentleness as we can give ourselves. 

by Charlotte Freeman

Sometimes the most powerful thing a book can do is make you feel like someone finally understands. "Everything You'll Ever Need (You Can Find Within Yourself)" is the debut collection from Charlotte Freeman, an author and graphic designer from Queensland, Australia, who writes from one soul to another. Published by Thought Catalog Books, this is a short, intimate collection of prose and reflections covering the themes most of us quietly struggle with: self-worth, heartbreak, the exhaustion of giving too much to people who aren't choosing you back, the slow work of learning to trust yourself again, and the radical idea that you don't need to be fixed — you need to be reminded of what you already are. Freeman's writing is direct without being preachy, and personal without being self-indulgent.

Find Lifelong Love By Being Your True Self by Sabrina Alexis Bindery

Most relationship problems don't start with the wrong person. They start with the wrong thinking. "You're Overthinking It: Find Lifelong Love by Being Your True Self" is the debut book from Sabrina Alexis Bendory — co-founder of A New Mode, one of the most widely read relationship advice platforms on the internet, reaching millions of women worldwide, and one of the most followed dating experts on TikTok and Instagram. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Newsweek, and the New York Post. This book distills more than a decade of her most impactful relationship insights into a single, accessible guide. The central argument is deceptively simple: the reason most people struggle to find and keep love isn't bad luck or the wrong partners — it's the stories they tell themselves about what they deserve, what love looks like, and why things keep going wrong. 

by Charlotte Freeman

If her first book reminded you of your worth, this one walks with you through the work of actually claiming it. "This Was Meant To Find You (When You Needed It Most)" is Charlotte Freeman's second collection — the natural companion to Everything You'll Ever Need (You Can Find Within Yourself) — and it goes deeper into the specific emotional terrain that most healing books gloss over: the grief you feel when you finally let someone go, the confusion of starting over, the way self-doubt creeps in exactly when you most need to believe in yourself, and the slow, unglamorous process of learning to stop abandoning yourself for people who were never really choosing you. Freeman writes in short, direct passages — equal parts prose and reflection — in a voice that feels less like an author and more like a friend who has sat with these feelings too. Readers describe opening it to a random page and finding exactly what they needed that day. 

by Charlotte Freeman

 Not all growth feels like growth. Some of it feels like falling apart, standing still, or losing your way entirely — and this book is for those seasons. "You Were Always Growing: Even in the Dark" is the third and most recent collection from Charlotte Freeman, bestselling author of "Everything You'll Ever Need" and "This Was Meant to Find You." Where her earlier books focused on healing from heartbreak and reclaiming self-worth, this one speaks to something broader and, for many readers, even more disorienting: the experience of being in a difficult chapter you can't quite name — a career crossroads, a lost sense of direction, a relationship or life path that no longer fits — and not knowing whether the changes happening to you are leading somewhere or just leading nowhere. Freeman's answer, in her characteristically warm and direct voice, is that they are always leading somewhere.
