When I was a teen, I read and re-read the Wikipedia articles for stress and stress management, because I was having problems with stress and that was the only source of information I could think of. The articles talked about a form of self-therapy called autogenic training, so I got a book on it from Amazon. The book was by a German guy named Schultz and written in the inter-war period (originally in German). I didn't know German; an English translation wasn't available: there was a French one though. I had lived two years in France by then, but my French was still bad. Only reading this book I realised that I could actually read French. I read the book and practiced his method for around six months. I'm not sure that it helped much, but in retrospect it was an interesting experience.
