50 Books to Help You Keep Your New Year's Resolutions

"Happy New Year! Now get to work. Everyone loves a good resolution at this time of year, but in three weeks' time? Whole different story. So what to do when your resolve is flagging and you need a little reminder of the shiny new self you promised past you? Well, you might try and take some inspiration from a good book. After all, the worst that can happen is that you'll have gotten some quality literature under your belt, right? Here, you'll find book prescriptions for ten worthy resolutions, from getting healthier to learning new skills to reading more poetry. Yes. You're welcome."
--- Emily Temple, Flavorwire
