What kind of info are you hunting for? There are so many books out there that it's hard to pick one or two that cover everything. I can tell you that I've never bought any books, I've found everything I needed on this board, just by visiting every day and looking at the new questions posted. We have so many of the same concerns and questions, that eventually some one will post the answer I'm looking for. And a lot of the time, I see things posted that I never thought about, which later were useful.

The best way I've found to search this site for head hunger is typing the following into Google -

site:verticalsleevetalk.com "head hunger"

You'll get lots of personal stories and experiences from people that are going through the same things you are thinking about.

If you really want a book, then I would look up "Emotional First Aid Kit" on Amazon and read the reviews to see if any other books are compared to that one or if the reviewers suggest other titles.
