i’m tired of being a people pleaser and being stuck in my brain 24/7. what are some books that can help with:
1. people pleasing
2. overthinking
3. abandonment issues
besides books addressing these issues, those that are about self-love are also much appreciated!

Eckhart Tolle – The Power of Now (spirituality/self help book I read and personally recommend)
David R. Hawkins – Letting Go (Ph.D veteran who has seen war, talks about meditation and letting go of suffering. Read some of it, extremely effective.)
Feeling Good
the Happiness Trap is the only book that has measurably helped me. Maybe worthwhile to psych yourself out with the Drama of the Gifted Child if you want to really feel the hurt that is driving these behaviours first, idk its your life
Not Nice by Aziz Gazipura
The Power of a Positive No by William Ury
Start With No by Jim Camp
The Now Habit by Neil Fiore
Little Bets by Peter Sims
Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel S.F. Heller
Silently Seduced by Kenneth M. Adams
Hope this helps.
**Unfu*k Yourself**
Get Out of Your Head and into Your Life
By: Gary John Bishop
**Publisher’s summary**
**New York Times best selle**r
Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings is this refreshing, BS-free self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations.
Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf*cked version of yourself. “Wake up to the miracle you are,” he directs. “Here’s what you’ve forgotten: You’re a f*cking miracle of being.” It isn’t other people that are standing in your way; it isn’t even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It’s yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.
In Unf*ck Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions:
I am willing
I am wired to win
I got this
I embrace the uncertainty
I am not my thoughts; I am what I do
I am relentless
I expect nothing and accept everything
For the first one, The Courage to be Disliked.
