Matt Haig · depression and anxiety, memoir

Short, warm, and honest about recovery. A gentle first book for many readers.

Bessel van der Kolk · trauma

Influential on trauma and the body. We flag where its claims run ahead of the trial evidence.

Viktor Frankl · meaning, resilience

A classic on finding purpose through suffering. Philosophy more than clinical method.
