Books that offer the opportunity for reflection, improvement and an impetus for change. They can make you think about life in a different way or help you onto a path where you can learn and practice strategies that help improve your wellbeing.
"In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you."
Mortimer Alder
