Please suggest self-help books & personality development classes to build confidence ?

Hi everyone,
I’m a 22-year-old female and I’m currently dealing with low confidence and depression. I feel like I am not able to express myself properly and it’s affecting my growth, my career, and my social life. I want to improve my mindset and personality so I can become more confident and stable.
Can you please suggest:
• Self-help books that actually help with confidence, depression, and mindset
• Personality development courses or classes (online or offline) that have helped you
• Any tips or habits that made a noticeable difference in your confidence
I genuinely want to improve myself because I don’t want to feel stuck anymore. Any recommendations would really help. Thank you 🙏

Just reading this, this feels more about execution than intent This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.

Honestly, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that tension shows up immediately Not convinced this is settled yet.

From a neutral view, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where it gets complicated

Without overthinking it, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here.

On the surface, the follow-through is what will decide this That’s what makes this interesting. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

To be fair, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome Others will probably see it differently.
