I like books on stories about the person telling about their life and how they cope, a good example on these type of books but not on mental illness is The year I got Polio by Peg Keret.
I also like just random quote books or just any book, a simple saying could bring an idea to be like a TON of bricks!

Sarah, me too, I love both those things; case histories and good quotes. I copied a whole lot of quotes into my journal a zillion years ago but didn't write down the authors or books they came from :-(

"Frustration is supposed to create action, not make you give up."

"Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze."

"Never confuse ignorance with wrongness or weakness. Remember that to yourself, you are and always will be the strongest element in your environment."

"Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or help, its purpose is to punish."

"Life is not a skill sport. It does not require hand-eye coordination. It is not determined by our intelligence quotient, not dependent on a beautific vision. It is a game anyone can play and play well."

"We are suggesting that you take control of your life and environment rather than trying to control yourself."

"Clarify any wish or dream or goal and experience the uncanny feeling that you have somehow magnetized information, people and opportunities to flow toward you."
