Here's one I've found extremely helpful, and it's not even a self-help book. Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching. You can read it over and over and still not get enough.
Thor, be happy, confident and clear-headed. Easy to say. Hard to do, especially in these circumstances. At least start out acting as if you're happy, confident and clear-headed. Like they say, fake it until you make it. My WAW moved out last Nov and still has all her stuff here at home except for what she needs week to week. She still talks about our home like it our home but I'm the only one living here. I'm hoping she moves back soon, but I'm not asking her to or putting any pressure on her. A couple of months ago I casually asked her if she was going to move her stuff out and she was shocked that I asked: "What? You want me to move my stuff out?!?!" No, just wondering (argh!). Mind reading is like a rocking chair. Lots of activity but it gets you nowhere. Work on yourself, man. And read the Tao Te Ching.
