The Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: A Review of Meta-analyses
An umbrella review of 269 meta-analyses mapping where CBT's evidence is strong, mixed or thin across anxiety, mood, psychotic, substance-use and somatic disorders.

Studied in its own right as bibliotherapy for depression. The canonical popular entry point, and one of the few self-help books with trial evidence behind it.
