I like a good book. I've read many on why I am the way I am, symptoms of trauma, childhood trauma etc. I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of why I am the way I am. I know the upbringing I had and the experiences I had led to problems in my day to day life now.

Some of these books have been really helpful don't get me wrong but I find most of them seem to drag me into the past again - going over you are this way because eof what happened.

So I'm wondering if anyone has any book recommendations I could get for focusing on the present. In particular identifying feeling positive..I've notice I'm good at identifying negative emotions but never positive. Or how to soothe inner critical voices

Any recommendations? Thanks
