Viktor Frankl…Man’s Search for Meaning. Heavy but uplifting all at once. I’ve re read it a few times at different points in my life and it’s always helped me a ton.

It's OK That You're Not OK by Megan Devine I found helpful for the grief from a long term (30+ years) marriage divorce.

If you have a daughter, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, by Meg Meeker. Not so much about divorce, but esp good bc raising will be even tougher after divorce.

Healing from hidden abuse. We were seeing a therapist for a couple sessions and decided to go solo after the ex decided she was done. He pointed out all the abuse I had been going through that I was completely blinded by. Reading that book was like a play by play and really helped me through my journey of self help.

Man... I've gone through so many different books / audio books...

Its hard to pin down which ones to recommend... I guess it all depends on the situation and where your at...

For example, 'no more mr nice guy' - tbh, the first time a read it, I didnt feel like i got much out of it and found a large portion of it not super relevant.

However, I re listened to the audio book nearly 2 years later and found I got a lot more out of it... hard to say if that was because of personal growth or change in circumstances...

So depending on the circumstances, I've got a heap of recommendations...

No more Mr nice guy was also an eye opener to me and realized how much of the problem in our relationship were 100% caused by me. We plan on sitting down next week so we can talk. I plan to ask her for separation instead of divorce while I continue in my journey with exceptional long term reconciliation.

Important to note here that if she still wants the full divorce I will go through with it as planned. Yet I still plan on working on myself because at this point… it’s about me wanting to be a better person.

Depends on what you need the book for.

Depends. I had a super high conflict situation- splitting was great by bill eddy. If you got kiddos- co parenting w a toxic ex and also moms house dads house.

No More Mr Nice Guy was a really big one for me. Opened my eyes to a lot of things.
