Books on Overcoming Adversity and Obstacles?

[Vision]

What are the best books on overcoming adversity and/or a depressive rut?

I'm looking for books that have any of these:

• New perspectives on looking at adversity and obstacles
• Unwiring a victim mindset
• Taking 100% responsibility for your life
• Becoming a leader to motivate you to overcome your own obstacles so that you can help others overcome theirs

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Read Emotional intelligence by Daniel Goleman and Emotional intelligence 2.0 by Travis.

Greater than the sum of your parts, by R. Schwartz

I'd recommend getting the audible

In my opinion, such a book should combine

a) efficacy

b) social interest

 

Two books that do this well:
1) How to Stop Worrying and Start Living Mass Market by Dale Carnegie

See especially the section on neo-Freudian Alfred Adler. That can be life-changing.

2) The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey

Practical and with the right foundational principles.

Stoicism is ideal for this purpose.

A Guide To The Good Life by William Irvine.
