I've read up a bit about this topic, but is there any books or recommendations that really cover the idea of what is popularized as the "mind-body connection + placebo effect"? There's obviously the best sellers / self-help crap in the world and even books on back pain being healed from this general "placebo" effect or at least the new awareness of it.

I've noticed this personal effect to be a constant theme in my life. I'm a chronic overthinker (OCD perhaps) and when I become aware enough of said "placebo effect", my problems go away and new ones take their place. Maybe that's just life, but there's such a strong power to placebo I'd love to learn more about.
