    I cannot understate how direct and clear this book is. The concept of Emotional First Aid can sound kitschy and off-putting but this is genuinely one of the best guidebooks to overall psychological wellbeing I have found. I've read many books that go over CBT and DBT and all of that. This book has very clear steps listed at the end of each chapter that guide you through how to "heal" from the injuries of these various areas of psychological hurt.

    It also contains one of the most thorough guides to overcoming loneliness that I've ever seen. A lot of books when they touch on this essentially tell you "here's how to make friends: step one remember names!" and go on to tell you how to socialize in that sense, which, by in large is not what people are looking for. This directly goes through the steps of how to do the internal and external work needed to reconnect with those around you and develop relationships. I cannot sing enough praise for this book, I think everyone should have this book just for the understanding it gives of ourselves!
