Two books:
Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman
Mans Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl
While Seligman is a learned doctor and has studied the field I always fall back on Frankl. He survived the concentration camp in Germany. His entire family wife, children, parents, siblings perished. He believes that he survived only due to luck and his attitude. I believe his quote sums up how we should live life.
"Everything can be taken from a man but ...the last of the human freedoms - to choose
one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
