Ella Graham
Non-fiction books that I find interesting rather than boring (which is not that common). Some of them really helped me during psychotherapy sessions.
One of the best books I read last year. About self motivation and self acceptance. “The Mountain Is You” is my sincere recommendation

Not the easiest book to read, but really helpful

A guide to living in the present moment and freeing yourself from ego-driven suffering.
The Power of Now: Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
A science-backed approach to navigating life’s twists with more flexibility, awareness, and compassion.

I love Brene Brown. A deeply human exploration of vulnerability, courage, and connection.

Quite a useful book nowadays. Based on ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy); great for dealing with anxiety, overthinking, and fear.
The Happiness Trap (2nd Ed): Stop Struggling
