There is no "exchange" in a book so you cannot be addressed as a individual. CBT and DBT are programs that rely on exchange though the right T might be enough. The ones written by a non professional that some how gained some "insight" tend to have a one size fits all solution which ends up working for a small subset of people. They just tend to not have a broad enough experience. Those are the worst, IMO. I like Brenė Brown because she is trained and she is working off 20 years of research. Sharing her own experience is very much part of the lesson so it works. I read another book by a psychologist but it wouldn't work for everyone because it is specific to creative people with depression. I got a lot out of it but I wouldn't expect everyone to. Sometimes little gems come along like the four agreements. It's like the less they say the more powerful it is.
