I'm thinking of books that help address things like low self-esteem, depression, procrastination, lack of motivation, stress, anxiety, phobias, etc. You might try a book called "The Feeling Good Handbook" by David Burns, M.D. I have an old version on my bookshelf and I haven't looked at it in years but he uses principles of cognitive behavioral psychology on depression, self-esteem and mood issues. It's a good book - I believe it's still in print but it might have a slightly different title now. I have a serious aversion to anything woo and I can attest that there's no woo in there. 
.
Honestly I would recommend the 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey. I've read and taken a few classes at work.
https://www.stephencovey.com/7habits/7habits.php Also I'd suggest this youtube channel, mulligan brothers which is motivational videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/mulliganbrother Or this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfYpNHg...Yy-CQ8N5Dg This is a great one I just watched Along with this one:  RE: Motivational books?

I've been seeing a therapist for two years now though I've never been diagnosed with having depression. Not that I'm aware of. I just talk mostly and he comments.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I'm not sad, l find it a sad thing when people see God as a cruel being when l know that is not true through my relationship with Him. So my friend don't be sad, be happy God cares. GC

Meh. The bible never did much to motivate me when I was Christian. It only me more depressed and a bit suicidal. I'd recommend skipping that one.
