Can the MT recommend any? I'd ask the OT, but, yea.
Something preferably more than, 'believe in yourself' and 'get 8 hours of sleep'.
The OT and the NT. Best to take advice in the form of "...do NOT do THIS" like the commandments (Lex Talionis - eye for eye) or the NT, golden rule, "...do unto others as you would do unto yourself".
Self help books are garbage because they usually offer advice in the form of "....do THIS, to be happy", or "...take these steps to be successful financially". And these books are written by 'experts' (usually in their own minds), who may or may not take their own advice.

I read The Millionaire Next Door and currently reading The Millionaire Mind by the same author and finding it much more informative than Next Door.

Put down the fiction every now and then and you might gain something....if anything, you'll go to sleep better at night.
