Cool. The book Mind lines can be a tough one to understand BUT this book literally teaches you how to change your bad thinking patterns.

Forget about miraculous solutions offered by modern quack doctors, a good novel will always teach you more about the forgotten art of living than those greedy swindlers wearing white coats. Hesse is indispensable for neurotics like us, followed by others than know how to expose our human soul as it is without disguise or hypocrisy, like Tennessee Williams or Raymond Carver. Also The tree of knowledge from Baroja is a sheer pearl of wisdom, but it should be kinda difficult to find in English even though is utterly interesting.

Anyway, recommending books to SA sufferers is like trying to heal a Korsakoff syndrome by giving cheap wine. Normal people don't need to acquire any introspective knowledge because for them living without reflecting about why they live is enough and OK, which is something I envy from the deepest nook of my moody heart.

Thanks for the suggestions Mr. Wonderful.

I'd like to add these two, both really helped:
Janet Esposito, 'In the Spotlight'
Paul McKenna, 'Change your life in 7 days'

Also, any audio books my Tony Robbins - they've really given me the final push to change my life - I listened to The Edge and Personal Power - the most inspiring 2 weeks of my life, and I've never looked back. Some of the techniques he suggests are ones that have completely changed my life.

I'd recommend "59 Seconds" by Richard Wiseman, PhD.

He gives all sorts of hints and tips for dealing with many situations, all backed up with a cornucopia of facts, studies, statistics, and so on.
