I know the subject is one book, but I cannot narrow it down to a single book.

The High 5 Habit by Mel Robbins and You are a Badass by Jen Sincero taught me to value myself as I am. That relationships are not (necessarily) transactional. Friendships/relationships can be more about enjoying the same things together. I used to think that if my friend did (x) for me, it was worth $0.00, so I had to reciprocate. It turns out, that's kind of insulting. A friend does what he/she cam because he/she can - not with an expectation of equitable reciprocity.

You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor takes it one step deeper.

Those books helped build my self confidence, where other business books were "how to" - these books are about "You Are"

I found Eckhart Tolle a tough read - not a bad read, but really grasping his philosophy and turning it into relatable was difficult for me.
