The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is very quickly shaping up to be this book for me.

It's probably highly unpalatable to modern Western sentiments (e.g., one of the chapter titles is "Trauma Does Not Exist") but it otherwise has really original lessons that I haven't seen articulated elsewhere, despite the sometimes overly formal English translation.
