    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.

      When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön

      Tragedy happens, and when it does, it can be hard to find solace in anything (and from anyone, even your closest family and friends). In those truly dark moments, this is a book you'll want to have waiting on your shelf. Written by a Buddhist nun, the author encourages readers that it's possible to find wisdom, courage, and peace despite difficulties - that yes, good can come from bad, and in time, you'll be able to put the pieces back together.

      $14, available at Shambhala Publications.
