If so, can you reccomend some (another good way to put it is any good motivational books?)

The Four Agreements, The Celestine Prophecy, and The Art of Happiness. They worked for me.

Feeling bad is something I really try to avoid. The "good" feeling that you speak of does for the most part make us a better person as in being more kind, more understanding, more compassionate, more caring, more giving, etc etc. Its unfortunate however that there seems to be a number of people in the world today that get their highs from the "bad feeling" they can cause in others. I don't know if I would go as far as saying that feeling bad is the root of all evil. It depends on how one handles the bad feeling. If every time I feel bad I go out and do something destructive then I transfer the bad feeling onto someone else. We now have two people "feeling" bad, which can I suppose turn into a real snowball effect. The great part is though when I "feel good" and go out and do some constructive, that same "good" feeling can be passed on to others as well. Everything connected to our life works better when we "feel" good, especially feeling good about ourselves. Even in the realm of medicine happy people are usually healthier people.

Wow, I've read a lot of books that uplifted me, made me feel better about being alive and thinking, but better as ME? It depends on what your soul needs right now, who you are, what your interests are. I recently read "The River King" and felt uplifted BECAUSE it features oddball characters with a quiet, unusual resolution of subplots and a commitment to who they were as living, feeling, forgiving, independent humans--that fits ME. Talk to bookstore employees, Google for nonfiction bestsellers, or talk to librarians. Librarians are not old ladies in bifocals anymore. Some are really current on what's published now and how to acquire it. (Fiction may be what you need; maybe try Mitch Albom.)

I agree with the person who mentioned Mitch Albom. Try Tuesdays With Morrie. It will really make you reevaluate what's important in life.

The Bible will help you find your proper place in the universe, thus making you feel better-- if it makes you feel worse first and you realizes that you and all humans are cads and how how you can choose not to be one. Good Luck!
