Top 10 Self-Help Books for the New Year
The Self-Care Mindset: Rethinking How we Change and Grow, Harness Well-Being, and Reclaim Work-Life Quality
by Jeanette Bronee

Inclusion. Wellbeing. Care. This is the future of work. The new generation no longer wants to accept that work hurts and that to succeed, we must sacrifice our well-being and health. Throw in the fact that our three core relationships - "self," "others," and "work," are overlapping like never before, and to create the future of work we all want to see, we must rethink self-care in the workplace and stop seeing it as something we do on our own time, but rather a mindset that provides us with the fuel and tools to change and grow. The Self-Care Mindset is an extension of Jeanette's most valuable teachings; rooted in solving the burnout crisis and navigating change and uncertainty through a more inclusive and holistic approach to self-care where we protect and harness our most important resource: our humanity.

Think Again
by Adam M. Grant

The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your beliefs and to know what you don't know, which can position you for success at work and happiness at home. The difficulty of rethinking our assumptions is surprisingly common--maybe even fundamentally human. Our ways of thinking become habits that we don't bother to question, and mental laziness leads us to prefer the ease of old routines to the difficulty of new ones. We fail to update the beliefs we formed in the past for the challenges we face in the present. But in a rapidly changing world, we need to spend as much time rethinking as we do thinking. Think Again is a book about the benefit of doubt, and about how we can get better at embracing the unknown and the joy of being wrong.
