These are the books that will get you where you want to go!
January usually means making new resolutions, turning our backs on the past year and, most importantly, thinking about what we want from the year we've barely entered. And a good start to the year is definitely a book that offers concrete advice on how to achieve your goals and, if nothing else, how to at least become more satisfied with yourself to some extent. To make it easier to make resolutions to keep (because we all deserve our own victory this year), we've compiled a list of five books that will give you a much-needed dose of inspiration, optimism, and motivation.

If you choose this book, you will discover how your level of anxiety or stress affects your life.
