It explains different phases the baby is going through. There is a “leap” around 8 months which it sounds like your baby may be going through. There is also an app that goes along with it that explains the same information but just not in as great of detail. My LO is the same age as yours right now and she’s going through the same behaviors you’re talking about. Just know this behavior is temporary and once your LO completes this “leap” they will be back to their normal, awesome little selves.
You’re doing a great job!
Honestly - it all goes out the window the moment you actually get into it.
But two books I found useful to some degree:
Wonder weeks - really useful for understanding the mental leaps your child will experience. It's more helpful at the time - but it's a nice thing to browse.
Solve your child's sleep problems - This is the ferber (cry it out) method for sleep training. I am not saying I entirely followed this book - but I did find the sleep patterns and cycles to be useful to understand WHY my kid was having issues on occasion. I did not follow the ferber method to a T though - however, I did do a modified CIO method with my dude and it was pretty successful (though it's sort of more about training you than the kid, IMO).
I also recommend anything by the Mayo Clinic (and avoid all of the "What to Expect..." line).
It's scientifically based and doesn't treat you like an idiot. They have a pregnancy book and a first year book, both of which I liked quite a bit.
Other than that - start browsing /r/beyondthebump and /r/toddlers - they are both great places to go when you are feeling insane and just need to hear that "this is normal".
P.S. You may want to try posting to /r/babybumpS - it has a larger following. :)

Maybe see a pediatrician, like others have suggested. It's also possible that there's nothing wrong and your baby is just having a developmental leap.
