Have not started it yet but it was highly recommended to me by my OMA (technically my BFF's mom but my "Other Mother" & "Other Grandmother" to my son).

She has been a practicing psychologist for over 40 years:

Your Erroneous Zones by Wayne W. Dyer

What part of an inverse tangent function approaching an asymptote don't you understand?

Different "genre" of book-- I personally had experienced intimacy problems because porn was a part of my life, and I found these books helpful. I'm sharing in case anyone else is curious about it too. I don't pretend to know how everyone got to this site.

The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography

-Maltz

Porn Nation: Conquering America's #1 Addiction

-Leahy

Thank you so much for this thread!! Such a wealth of information. I look forward to reading many of these. I picked up 'NOT just friends' today, and also ordered 'sexual detours' online. Thanks again!

A few more I didn't see on the list that have been important for me:

As A Man Thinketh by James Allen - Very old and old fashioned but very good. It's short so read it all then decide what you think.

The Miracle of Forgiveness by Spencer W. Kimble - very religious but priceless for anyone of any Christian faith.

The Self-Centered Marriage by Hal Runkle, I took his instructor course in Scream Free Parenting for my job and couldn't believe how much of it was applicable to my sitch. Check out the Scream Free website. Amazing stuff.

ETA

The Mindfulness Solution: everyday practices for everyday problems, by Ronald Siegel. Helps me to deal.

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.
