1"A Guide to Rational Living"by Albert Ellis, who developed REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy), he's one of the most influential psycotherapists in history!

2 "Change your Thinking, Overcome Stress, Anxiety, and Depression, and Improve Your Life with CBT" by Sarah Edelman.

3 "Shyness: A Bold New Approach: Managing Your Shyness at Work, Making Small Talk, Navigating Social Situations, Parenting a Shy Child" by Bernardo Carducci

4 "The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine Aron. She says: "Possessing this trait can be challenging at times, but being sensitive is not a psychological disorder or a personality flaw to get rid of. The sensitivity trait is merely a part of an individual's personality." This book is less self-help and more self-acceptance.
