I’m looking for a book that can basically be a wake-up call. I personally primarily deal with depression (tied in to loneliness due to having no friends, and my weight) and social anxiety (for meeting people, not just being in public. I don’t have a problem with that). Even though no amount of advice I read will matter if I don’t put in the work to change, I want a book that can kind of put me on the right path. But not one that offers generic advice like “Think happier thoughts and you’ll cultivate a happier mindset”, or something that goes way off the cuff and offers dangerous advice like “Those antidepressants you’re taking don’t work. Chuck ‘em in the bin”.
I basically want a book that’s like “Here’s what’s going on, here are some things you can apply to your daily life to have a happier outlook and mindset, and here’s what you would need to do to change for good”. Something that actually works for people from all walks of life.
