'You Are a Badass Every Day' by Jen Sincero
Jen Sincero's #1 New York Times Bestselling book "You Are a Badass: How to Start Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living as Awesome Life" is a refreshingly funny and personable self-help book. Sincero shares how she went from zero to hero, and literally transformed her life by embracing gratitude and taking accountability for her thoughts, because, as she shares, "our thoughts become our words, our words become our beliefs, our beliefs become our actions, our actions become our habits, and our habits become our realities."

A big takeaway from this book is the idea of tuning into — and embracing — the frequencies of the universe. When you tap into that energy source, amazing things can happen.

In 2018, Sincero published "You Are a Badass Every Day: How to Keep Your Motivation Strong, Your Vibe High, and Your Quest for Transformation Unstoppable." This companion book is filled with exercises designed to keep you on the road of badassery. It can serve as a piece of equipment in your "spiritual gym," and Sincero hopes that the book aids you in your journey by "giving you quick perspective shifts, reminders, meditations, and loving motivational spankings."

'Why You're Not Married...Yet' by Tracy McMillan
McMillan is here to reroute the way you think about love and relationships. What started off as a wildly successful Huffington Post article of the same name, "Why You're Not Married...Yet," is chock-full of quality relationship advice.

For those who struggle to find, and stay in, long-lasting relationships, McMillan breaks down the various ways women sabotage their relationships, and offers solutions. However, despite the tough-love titles of her chapters — including "You're a Bitch," "You're Shallow," and "You're a Slut" (ouch) — McMillan is a sympathetic friend who shares her own journey with finding love so that you can learn from her successes and mistakes.

'The Artist's Way' by Julia Cameron
"The Artist's Way" is a 12-week program designed to reignite one's creative passion and to recover a sense of connection, strength, and compassion (just to name a few). Each week, Cameron gives readers a new set of challenges and goals to nurture the artist — and human — within.

One of the cornerstones of the program is the practice of Morning Pages. Cameron prescribes a daily ritual of filling three pieces of paper with "longhand writing, strictly stream-of-consciousness" writing. The main point of this is to rid yourself each morning of all the negative, yucky thoughts that may plague you. By getting these down on paper, the hope is that you will free up the pathways of creativity, which are usually blocked by fear, self-doubt, and self-criticism.
