I haven't read anything that's a dedicated workplace problem solving guide.
I have read The Feeling Good Handbook. It has a pretty good general section on communicating well and resolving conflicts. The rest of the book wouldn't be much good to you if your only problem is work place conflict but if you're also struggling with general anxiety and depression it has a lot of helpful info on dealing with it.
If she's in denial it'd probably be better to convince her he isn't behaving properly at all.
You could just give her any CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) book. Personally I'm going to recommend The Feeling Good Handbook. It has very long sections about how situations should work out ideally, aka without distortions. There's a list of distortions in the front and you learn to identify them. In my experience, Ns love using distortions to twist things in their favor.
I found it pretty eye opening what he said should be said. It made tons of sense, just was different to what I was used to.
That would be a pretty subtle way to edge in your husband is a jerk.
Have you heard of "Your Money or Your Life"? It's not so minimalist, but much more in-depth; one of the exercises is to go over your spending & determine how much joy each expenditure brought you, so that you can figure out where best to be frugal (& where the spending is worth it).
I'm reading 5 different books right now.
I just bought one more but it hasn't arrived yet. lol I've been hopping from book to book so I've only finished two book so far. I already posted reviews for them.
I plan to post reviews for the books I'm currently reading when I get around to finishing them too. The next book I finish will definitely be either Daring Greatly or The Introvert's Way.
Stop Walking on Eggshells has some useful tactics in dealing with difficult people.

Right now, some okay fantasy - The Blade of Fortriu. It's a pretty good book, but I am not sure I would recommend it widely to others.
What I am SUPER excited about is what I am going to read next. I bought myself this goodie - awesomely annotated version of Price and Prejudice with 10 tons of historical context, maps and pictures and stuff. OMG! I cannot wait to get started on this one. I have flipped through it and read the notes a bit and it is just awesome! Pride and Prejudice has long been one of my favorite books and to better understand the historical context sounds like a ton of fun to me!
http://www.amazon.com/Unworthy-How-Stop-Hating-Yourself-ebook/dp/B00FX7R1NY/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid= The kindle version is 11$, which is what I have.
Its approach is more autobiographical, like a memoir of someone's realizations with examples and advice about tackling specific issues. What I found helpful about the writing is that it shies away from the very common "Love yourself!" mantra that many self help books push. Instead, it's even simpler, start by learning how to not hate yourself. Self love and self acceptance can follow if we stop digging ourselves into holes with our learned coping mechanisms. The entire tone of the book is partially comedic and partially pragmatic. It's also helped me frame a lot of my (now detrimental) behaviours in a light that helps me understand why I developed them, why they "worked" (in abusive situations), and why they are keeping me back, now, from the type of life that I actually want.
