Anyone have any suggestions?

I saw an old LLinus thread when he was first coming up and he mentioned The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler. I didn't know if it was still relevant (came out in 2011 I think), or if there are more modern options.

Mental game content doesn't really become outdated in the same way as strategy content. MGOP + MGOP2 are common recommendations. I personally got some mileage out of a book called The Poker Mindset. Another author you could look at is Tommy Angelo who has a few mindset books.

If you're looking for more "modern" stuff, it's a bit new-agey but Elliot Roe is a poker mindset coach and hypnotherapist who has a variety of stuff available. I would say all of the content has value and can improve your mindset if you're open to genuine work on your mental game (easier said than done), so it's about finding the mental game content that resonates with you.

Elliot Roe has some stuff I've enjoyed on youtube. Mostly as a guest on various shows.
