NP - need a book recommendation

[Mark Thibodeau]

Having recently read The Burning Secret, by Stefan Zweig, I suspect it
meets ALL of your requirements, and that most of your students/clients
would enjoy it.

Is it too late to keep making suggestions?

Yer old pal Jerky

PS - I almost suggested Camus' The Stranger, because technically it
also fits the bill... but it's most likely inappropriate for other
unmentioned, but I suspect FAR more important, reasons.
