Sign up for Scribd — unlimited ebooks and audiobooks for less than $10 a month, and most popular self-help / self-improvement books are on there (only ones I couldn’t find were Attached and one other). It’s been great for listening while running or waiting at the airport and has saved me so much money from buying individual books

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this.
