Books?

(edited to clarify my point!)

Hi,

(not sure if this is in the right forum so move it if its not!)

Does anyone know of any good books, NOT for anxiety/CBT - I have claire weekes and its great, but books to help you to let go of your problems and find inner peace / self confidence? so not CBT and behaviour type stuff, but more for healing / self developement type issues, Im hoping that someone knows of a good book that they could reccommend.

Thanks x

CBT for begineers is always worth a go...also check out your local library i bet they have some books n u could look at a selection?
