Like I said, I haven't read all of them yet.
In the first few months after finding out about bf's cheating, I had trouble going about daily tasks. It was ALWAYS on my mind. Reading helped. I found myself at the bookstore many many times a week. I'd just pick up a book and read. I'm an avid reader to begin with. Some of these books are going to have points that don't apply, so I skipped that chapter or section. If there's a section I really like, I read it twice. If the book started to bug me, I'd put it back. Point is, when it comes to self help, it doesn't have to be a cover to cover read. If there's a certain point that you need to understand right now, go to the table of contents and read that part. Sometimes it'll just pick up and flow and you'll read through a few chapters in order.

Oh and I speed read a little too. I learned on these book store adventures. This wasn't a fantasy/adventure novel where I was immersing myself in a novel. I was there because I NEEDED answers and I didn't want to wait. Speed reading means you can skip words and lines and helps you power through books. Brianna, it's not about quantity, it's about what you get out of it. For me, reading these books were a life line -something to hold onto. But that's why I *-ed my favorites. Because if you DON'T have time/energy to read everything on that list, I think you'll get enough out of those ones.
