With New Years just around the corner, now is a great time to start thinking about what New Year's resolutions we would like to make in the upcoming year. Whether our goal is to improve our health, earn more money or to find a meaningful and loving relationship, often times, the core of what is holding us back from achieving these goals boils down to our beliefs, habits, patterns and confidence.
Sometimes, a good book is all we need to get us moving in the right direction again. However, in times when we have been stuck in a rut for several months or even years, perhaps working with a life coach (for our personal or professional goals), a personal trainer (for our health and fitness goals) or a psychologist (for our mental health and stability) is a better solution.
To achieve more of our New Year's goals and resolutions in 2015 and to jumpstart the new year with some uplifting and empowering reading, here are 33 inspirational and thought-provoking books that will help you -- and have helped me -- create a life you love in the New Year!
