There are a few self-help/mentor books out there that I recommend. They're more about the pitfalls of the entire experience in grad school, as opposed to focusing on the dissertation phase, though. None of the books are perfect, but most can offer little insights here and there that are helpful.
And, of course, reading a nonmath book is just another effective procrastination technique...
'The Chicago Guide to Your Academic Career: A Portable Mentor for Scholars from Graduate School Through Tenure' gives a panoramic view of the process from three noted historians.
'Ms. Mentor's Impeccable Advice for Women in Academia' is a great book of straight-talk/stop-your-whining advice.
'Getting What You Came For: The Smart Student's Guide to Earning an M.A. or a Ph.D.' starts with choosing a grad school and efficiently works its way through advice on choosing an advisor and writing the thesis.
'Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day: A Guide to Starting, Revising, and Finishing Your Doctoral Thesis,' written by a psychotherapist, really is a self-help book chock-full of ways to overcome procrastination demons, starting with choosing an appropriate advisor.
'How to Complete and Survive a Doctoral Dissertation' was originally published in 1981--at the beginning of the self-help revolution--and has become a classic. Not only does it provide motivational discussions, but it touches on some possible institutional derailers like poor advising or sexual harassment.
