i can share my modest experience in self help books, in fact, i made deep researches, and read several books, and i'll share with you the most helpful books.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: the best and most practical self help book on the subject is "CBT for dummies" , it's extremely practical and comprehensive. to a degree that you could apply it on a wide range of disorders and even relationship problems. it's a life changing book, with the most effective techniques in psychology. i even found that book more helpful than " feeling good" of david burns.

Relaxation and stress relief: my best book is "the relaxation and stress reduction workbook", it's very comprehensive, and contains several methods of relaxation and coping skill, assertiveness skills...ect... but i found progressive muscle relaxation as the most effective relaxation method

Time Managment: Two great books i'll have to mention "7 habits,
stephan covey", and "getting things done", two great classics that allowed me to gain considerable productivity and efficiency that i've never experienced my entire life.

i hope that i could give some help to people seeking self help books, if any questions, don't hesitate.
