Libbie Hawker's TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS is a great book on outlining, and short enough that you can get through it in one evening, so you won't get bogged down and flustered. Here's a link to the ebook on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Take-Off-Your-Pants-Outline/dp/1518637825/
Take Off Your Pants is an excellent book on plotting from character motives. Changed the way I go about outlining, and demonttrated that pantsing and outlining can work together and are not the antithesis of each other.
Example of a novel using this: Game of Thrones, and The Windup Girl. In both of these (2 of my favorites) it is the hugely conflicting character motives which create the plot.
