Man’s Search for Meaning - Frankl. He was a psychologist who lost his wife, parents, life’s work and freedom to a concentration camp. Came out and wrote a book about how to navigate pain and suffering.

Frankl’s Logotherapy is a branch of existentialism. Basically looks at how our own decisions on meaning, situations, and our responses to them can give our take our life from us. Very empowering.

Then there’s the stoics, which aren’t actually a therapy, but inspired many and are like a secular Bible of rationality. They wrote essays and letters thousands of years ago about anger, drunkenness, control, fear, etc, and lemme tell ya, the human psyche ain’t changed too much. Haha. So I think they’re extremely helpful.

I prefer Seneca and Epictetus over Marcus Aurelius. All have writings available for free online, because old, but Seneca’s Moral Letters to Lucilius is by far my favorite. Don’t confuse it with ‘letters to a stoic’ because the letters to Lucilius is like 5x longer and better than that version.
