I was fighting suicidal depression for about 5 years. I had seen multiple therapists, tried multiple drugs, tried meditation, been on Vipassana retreats, tried CBT, tried ACT, tried all sorts of different things.
Stoicism was the first thing that worked for me,
specifically this book is the one that started making sense.
In a few months I knew things were getting better, 6 months I was feeling pretty good, and one year on I was a different person.
Everyone is different, but for me Stoicism brought me from suicidal to absolute lover of life, even when things go bad.
edit: Feel free to PM me if you're going through depression yourself. I know it can be a fucking difficult journey, and I'm always happy to chat.
>Combatting depression
Quoting a recent comment of mine:
>You might want to look into cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), if that isn't what you already did.
>Recommended books:
The Philosophy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and
Unshakeable Freedom.
>Also: Recommended Post.
>Philosophy and Stoicism
Apart from the Enchiridion and the Meditations, the primary reading list includes letters and essays from Seneca as well as Cicero or the fragments from Musonius Rufus. Modern books include How to be a Stoic, A guide to the good life and Stoicism and the art of happiness. The FAQ has a nice list which is worth checking out.
>Books about changing the way you think (false thoughts vs. truths)
This might not be Stoic, but you might be interested in Thinking fast and slow.
>Identity
Might not be exactly what you were looking for, but reading The mind illuminated and implementing meditation as a practice, changed the way I think about myself and my thoughts on a daily basis.
>The ego
A favourite of mine is the eight page-long article by urbanmonk.
A good starting point for thought provoking and self-help books is the sub /r/BettermentBookClub. If you search for thought provoking articles, /r/Foodforthought or /r/philosophy is the way to go.
Try this one, which is an excellent and easy introduction:
https://www.amazon.com/Unshakable-Freedom-Ancient-Secrets-Applied/dp/0920219187
Just grab a copy from your local library and flip through the first few pages to see if it rings for you.

The above link will take you to the book I mentioned as a good primer on stoicism overall, & it's quite short.
The book you link to is indeed enjoyable (like I said I love the enchiridion!) but it's not very in depth.
