The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master by John Truby:
I read it to try to fix my wip. It has useful advice and let me see the problem of my characters (a lack of believable motivation).
This book is written with respect to principles of Naikan therapy and Morita therapy. It recommends acceptance, attention, co-existing with Unpleasant Feelings, and self-reflection.
It's fine as a self help book, but I'm disappointed about the lack of practical exercises.

Party of One: The Loners ' Manifesto by Anneli Rufus
I like its premise. She has also done a lot of research. I'm impressed by the chapter about how the media manufactured the narrative of "serial killer are loners".
I thinks she is too over passionate and defensive about the loner lifestyle in some space, but it's an interesting read.
