Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can reccommend any books about a person(s) true story about dealing with adversity ie. mental health issues, addictions... I need some hope that I can get better/feel better. Also any good daily meditation books. Nothing bible related please. thank you!

2 books I like on overcoming mental illness, are "An Unquiet Mind" by Kay Radfield Jameson - it's on Biopolar

and "The Centre Cannot Hold" by Elyn Saks - on schizophrenia.

A good meditation book, written specifically for women is "Each Day a New Beginning" by Karen Casey.

Have you read any books by JOYCE MEYER, I have at least 8 books from her. She's a CHRISTIAN Speaker on Television Mininstry. MAYBE You heard of her. I love her INSPIRATIONAL books I have learned alot from them. I used to be lost in Addiction for 34 yrs of my life. After I saw her on TV & read her books I asked GOD for help with my ADDICTION Lifestyle now I am clean & sober for 6 yrs from Drugs, & almost 8 yrs from ALCHOHOL. I love life & life it to the fullest extent now! IF you have any questions send me a message okay. I HOPE THIS HELPS you. IT SURE HELPED ME! Debra Rincon Lopez in Portland OREGON USA.
