If I did that, then that would defeat the purpose of the question.
There is no such thing….authors will sell you on the idea that you can read there stuff and that it will improve your life somehow (this is a lie). The reason for this is because everyone is different, everyone has different emotions different needs and desires. One book can not cater to everyone on the planet its given as a general help. You need personalized help if your seeking assistance in your life. You need to see a counselor/pyschologist, the reason they are effective is because they discuss what kind of life you have lived, the things you’ve done and basically get a sense of who you are inside and what you really need before they start shelling out words of wisdom.
If you need help please I urge you to seek professional help not the help of someone trying to sell his books.
