I wish I had acknowledged the fact that I suffer from severe anxiety disorder instead of believing that everybody else was wrong.

For most of my work life (20+ years) I suffered from severe anxiety that led to fits of anger, resentment, self pity.

After facing enough consequences (being fired, quitting in anger) I finally looked at myself hard in the proverbial mirror and asked for help and went to therapy.

My favorite books are from Jocko Willink: - Extreme Ownership - The dichotomy of leadership - Discipline Equals Freedom

Mainly leadership books that I use to be better at leading myself.
