Trauma
The more you understand how trauma affects you, the more you will be able to release it. These are some of the best books I know of to help you in your understanding and healing of trauma.
Ecopsychology
Ecopsychology is the study of the relationship between humans and nature. A solid bond with nature can help restore you to your true self and your Wild Way. Some of these books changed my life.
Ecopsychology by Theodore Roszak, Mary Gomes, and Allen Kanner

Feral by George Monbiot
Men-specific
What it means to be a "Man" is changing. More than ever, men need to bond to grow, heal, redefine, and redirect in healthy and effective ways. Here's a few places to begin all that.

Diversity
Differences between people are what makes things so interesting, so challenging, and so important to appreciate if we are to prosper together in our communities and on our planet. We all deserve to feel safe and respected as our Wild Selves.
Relationships
Easy, they are not. Essential, they are. Most of us were not taught by parents, teachers, mentors, or society how to create and maintain a healthy relationship. Better late than never! Here are a few excellent teachers worth reading.

Transition
"The only constant is change." Guess we ought to get good at it, right? Easier said than done but, with practice, we can get better at letting go, riding out uncomfortable "in-between" phases, and embracing new beginnings. Some of my favorites here.
Meditation and Spiritual
Without mindfulness and loving connection to power greater than my little ego, I would be a mess. May these books lift you as they have me.

Addiction
I take the view that we can get addicted to anything and that most of us have been or are addicted to something or someone. It's a powerful thing, addiction, but it's not the most powerful thing there is. If you suffer addiction, please check these out.
