I think the same for me. What I've gotten from books r.e. psychological issues are perspective and tools.

Perspective: sometimes a writer puts things in a way that illuminates or alters how I see my situation.

Tools: sometimes a writer has an idea or a scheme that I can put to practical use. The pomodoro timer on my desk has been handy even without adopting every aspect of the method. That came from a blog rather than a book, but same idea (to me.)
