    10 Self-Help Books for the New Generation

    By Tara Rasmus, Refinery29

    You'll have to forgive us. The last time we talked self-help, we may have gotten a little bit snarky about a few dating books that we found somewhat ridiculous insulting. Calling our bluff, you guys (rightfully so) asked us to name the self-help books that we would recommend. Not wanting to disappoint, we rounded up our staff picks for the smartest, wittiest, and most profound self-help books that have helped us through some darker times, encouraged us to get in touch with our emotions, and even kick our relationship problems to the curb.

    The self-help section may have a negative rap (and yes, there are some flat-out bad picks out there), but there are also some smart works that we'd never boot off our bookshelves. No matter what ails you, there's a book out there to ease your mind, warm your heart, and even inspire you to achieve your biggest goals. Move over, Chicken Soup - these are the self-help books for now.

      The Mood Cure by Julia Ross

      You know that moment where you feel like you snapped from a good mood into a bad one, and you can't figure out how it happened, much less how to make it better? Well, in her thirty years of experience, Julia Ross has gotten to the bottom of mood swings and has developed a four-step system to getting ahold of seemingly impossible-to-control emotions.

      This tome is especially helpful if you're wary of therapy or drugs. While not a replacement for medical treatment, Ross has found that changing one's mood can be as simple as changing one's diet, adding key supplements, or improving one's sleep schedule. This book is a great reminder that given the right building blocks, the body can heal a myriad of ailments - amazing, right?

      $11.67, available at Barnes and Noble.
