This is awesome, and painfully accurate.

Anytime friends or therapy clients ask me for book recommendations, I typically steer them away from self-help books. Too much "guru" bullshit.

Most of modern cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is rooted in Stoicism and Buddhism.

So the two books I recommend the most are:

The Daily Stoic, by Ryan Holiday

The Miracle of Mindfulness, by Thich Nhat Hanh

No bullshit. Hyper practical. Easy to read.

I'm curious on your thoughts, if you've read them.
