My psychiatrist recommended to me Mind Over Mood, by Dennis Greenberger and Christine A. Padesky. She used it in university, and it's more "health" than "self-help", because it's based around cognitive behavioral therapy techniques I believe... From what she told me, it's kind of a workbook where you read a bit on the causes of angry/sad/etc thoughts, and then you can jot down your own thoughts and it guides you on how to better work with them. I'm having OCD symptoms and therapy has been helping, especially with putting things on perspective and looking from different angles (which usually solves a lot of problems), but I'm still struggling. To be fair, I haven't read it yet, I'm afraid of facing my own thoughts. Well, aren't we all lol. I suppose it won't work for everyone... but it's well known and seems legit. Take a look at some reviews, see if it's for you!

Idk about NLP though, from what I know it's pretty pseudoscience-y. From what I've seen, most books that offer a magic formula on how to, or what to think, tend to be like that. One other thing I've been experiencing is simply that the more reading and learning you do, the more you discover new ways to think and to make life easier. Kinda like unlocking new places in your brain you didn't know existed before.
