Have a greater awareness of your abilities and positive qualities."

Here are my top 5 books to support your mental wellness journey!

1. Stop Checking Your Likes: Shake Off the Need for Approval and Live an Incredible Life by Susie Moore

Millions of us waste huge chunks of our days checking our phones and devices, looking for just one more thumbs-up or red heart. It's the modern measurement of how accepted, wanted, or valued we seem to be. Susie Moore is going to help you shake off the need for that hollow approval and live the incredible, confident life you were meant to live. It's time to proclaim and celebrate your talents, fend off naysayers, and live your life with magnetism and unshakable self-confidence.

2. How to Be Fine: What We Learned from Living by the Rules of 50 Self-Help Books by Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer

In each episode of their podcast By the Book, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer take a deep dive into a different self-help book, following its specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter. From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they try it all, record themselves along the way, then share what they've learned with their devoted and growing audience of fans who tune in.

In How to Be Fine, Jolenta and Kristen synthesize the lessons and insights they've learned and share their experiences with everyone. How to Be Fine is a thoughtful look at the books and practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn't, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth.

3. The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People by Rachel Wilkerson Miller

If you're having trouble connecting with those around you, know that you're not the only one. Adult friendships are tricky!!! Part manifesto, part guide, The Art of Showing Up is soul medicine for our modern, tech-mediated age. Rachel Wilkerson Miller charts a course to kinder, more thoughtful, and more fulfilling relationships--and, crucially, she reminds us that "you can't show up for others if you aren't showing up for yourself first." Learn to fearlessly...

• define your needs, reclaim your time, and commit to self-care

• ask for backup when times are tough--and take action when others are in crisis

• meet and care for new friends, and gently end toxic friendships

• help your people feel more seen (and more OK) overall!

4. The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free by Melissa Urban

Do your relationships often feel one-sided or unbalanced? Are you always giving in just so things will go smoothly? Do you wish you could learn to say no--but, like, nicely? Are you depleted, overwhelmed, and tired of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to establish some boundaries.

Since launching the mega-bestselling wellness program the Whole30, Melissa Urban has taught millions of people how to establish healthy habits and successfully navigate pushback and peer pressure. She knows firsthand that boundaries--clear limits you set to protect your energy, time, and health--are the key to feelings of security, confidence, and freedom in every area of your life.
