I'm currently going through a lot of changes that have been incredibly difficult in my life and I have been listening to self-help books lately the really helped me in so many ways the first one recently that I read was by Chelsea Handler which honestly I started reading as a distraction to forget about what I was dealing with and her latest book I'll have what she's having is actually an incredible self-help book that I didn't expect led me to pulling over my car and crying thinking about some of her stories that resonated with me and her journey with her therapy and dealing with relationships and similar ways that I have. And then I saw the book How to be Alone by Lane Moore which is something I'm trying to do and I really didn't expect it to emotionally open me up in such a heavy way followed by her book You Will Find your People. And today I finished that audio book while out on a walk and I almost stopped on the trail to cry as if (ironically) I felt like Lane had abandoned me. (silly I know after reading How to be alone)
Honestly this has been really good for my mental health because the only way I can really focus without something else distracting me is to be in my car driving or out on a walk and honestly I work remotely and I've turned into a hermit and I look for any reason to never leave the house so the fact that these books got me out and walking is a really big deal for me.
Please suggest books that are somewhat similar self-help books with some humor infused please I want to keep on my journey work on my anxious attachment, trauma and depression and continue getting fresh air and exercise. I'm just lost as to what book to listen to next.
Another audiobook author that really helped a lot and really kept my attention was Jen Sincero – she was life changing as wrll. Read and listened to all her books. And Tina Fey was a fun read too.

Saved my ass 2 years ago. I still reread it.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is also a good one.
