Wittgenstein has a reputation for being a "therapeutic philosopher", in the same vein as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, etc.

There is a fantastic book that I recommend along these lines: https://www.amazon.com/American-Philosophy-Story-John-Kaag/d...

I also enjoyed Kaag's "Hiking with Nietzsche: On Becoming Who You Are"

Agreed, I actually read that one first. I was bummed to find out that he recently divorced his second wife who he talks about so highly in both his books.
