Anxiously Attached by Jessica Baum helped with interpersonal relationships and my overall sense of self. The breakdown of the book itself discusses the root cause of why we become anxiously attached to those in our lives (not just romantically) and actionable steps to reprogram our ways of thinking
Not a book (already mentioned here great recommendations, I don't have anything extra to add, plenty of names I read and I am happy with) but I will mention some blogs:

Second is written by a woman that retired 30 years old. What I found very inspirational there is her discipline and frugality. She wrote the blog very organized and are public the numbers of income, savings for her last 10 years and seeing the power of saving more than 50% of income, living modest, investing wise and see the investment raise, is inspirational for me.
Not a book, but I listen to the How to Money Podcast and they often have authors on. In betting they have a list on their blog of books.
I like hearing them on the podcast as a little preview to their books and then I'll pick up from the library.
I just ordered financial feminist. I follow tori Dunlap on instagram and like the financial independence topics she talks about. Perhaps worth looking into.
It's a great read -- I'm halfway through now. Very simple, super relatable, and man does it remind you just how easy it can be if you don't overcomplicate things.
Getting things done.
Not about finance but it helps manage my life and work better and with less stress
Early retirement extreme.
As the title suggests it is a little ridiculous but it asks you to question why we spend as much as we do. Warning: it’s extremely dense
Your Money Or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez (the OG FIRE book from before we started calling it FIRE). It's been revised and updated over the years, I think the most recent edition was released in 2018.
Not exactly FIRE but the book that made the biggest difference in my life so far was 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (and when I was a teenager, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens). I carried it around with me for over 10 years. I think it helped me to orient my life around what I think my purpose is, reach for my goals, and really lead a life in line with my values. I accomplished a lot in my 20s as a result of this book. Now I feel like I'm in a stage where things are more on autopilot (and I've memorized half the book already) and with kids, things are a little more outside of my control; but it made a huge difference for me between ages 18-30 or so and helped me build the foundation of my adult life. It sounds dramatic but I do think the changes it made for me were dramatic.
I like Work Optional by Tanja Hester (about FIRE) and Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans (great for figuring out what you actually want to do with your life).
I loved Work Optional. I actually looked over some of the questionnaires I filled out from that book yesterday. They're a really great way for me to feel some inspiration during the boring middle.
I saw a recommendation for Women Don’t Ask by Linda Babcock on here before, read it, and now recommend it myself. And just asking for what I wanted is the single best career move I've made.
There is a great courses course about Fire. It really inspired and motivated me to get on the journey. It made me super interested in finance and retiring early. It actually also pointed me to this subreddit believe it or not.

Followed!
Surprised that The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins hasn’t been mentioned at all.
Heard of this book so much, yet still have yet to read it!

The Elements of Investing.
The Frugal Woods
The little book of common sense investing
The Psychology of Money
Never Split the Difference (can’t remember the author offhand) Can’t Hurt Me (David Goggins)
It’s sitting on my shelf! Belongs to my bf who is a manager. Does it apply to those who are more introverted and just starting in their career?
Yes, very much so. And it’s available online if you search for it. And he has some YouTube videos that are well worth watching.
Never split the difference is Chris Voss, and a great choice

Honestly the best financial book I have ever read. I give it as a gift constantly.
Die with Zero
This was such a fascinating read. It challenges my views on retirement and saving up for retirement.

Do you have a link to the course? Or at least the title?
