Absolutely—The Body Keeps the Score is an excellent starting point for understanding how trauma and emotions are held in the body. For the Indian context, where spiritual, familial, and cultural nuances play a key role in mental well-being, here are some thoughtfully chosen self-healing and self-awareness books that may resonate deeply: Books for Self-Healing & Emotional Awareness (Suited for Indian Readers) 1. “Healing the Mind” by Dada J.P. Vaswani A gentle and spiritual approach to healing negative emotions, grief, and inner turmoil, rooted in Indian philosophy. Simple language and practical advice. 2. “Emotional Wellness” by Osho Offers profound insights into emotions like anger, fear, jealousy, and love. Encourages mindfulness and self-awareness through introspection and letting go. 3. “Who Will Cry When You Die?” by Robin Sharma Short, reflective chapters that build self-awareness, emotional discipline, and inner strength. Focuses on purpose, service, and living with intention. 4. “The Courage to Be Disliked” by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga (not Indian, but resonates universally) Based on Adlerian psychology, it helps break free from people-pleasing and overthinking. Especially helpful for those who feel stuck emotionally. 5. “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle (widely loved in India too) Teaches presence and mindfulness to escape the cycle of overthinking and emotional pain. 6. “Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World” by Mark Williams & Danny Penman Includes an 8-week mindfulness plan. Many Indian therapists recommend this alongside yoga and pranayama practices. 7. “Yoga and the Quest for the True Self” by Stephen Cope A beautiful blend of Indian yogic philosophy and Western psychology. Great for those seeking spiritual insight alongside emotional healing. 8. “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer Teaches how to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting caught in them—a powerful tool for emotional resilience. Bonus Indian Language Suggestion: “Mann Ki Shanti” (Hindi) by Dada Vaswani – great for older adults or those more comfortable in Hindi.

If you elaborate your problem in detail, will Able to help you more. But normally good self healing books are “power of subconscious mind” “stop overthinking” “Don’t believe in everything you think”
