#3 You Can Do All Things by Kate Allan
When you have anxiety of depression, you can feel deeply alone. You can feel like you're the only person on the planet who's struggling with weird worries (which won't go away), who can't go grocery shopping without getting sweaty and panicked, who fears everything. When we feel this way, one of the greatest gifts we can receive is knowing that there's someone out there walking a similar path, someone who understands the sorrow, the struggles, the symptoms, the hardships. Someone we can relate to, someone who shares their story, with vulnerability and without filters.
With You Can Do All Things, Kate Allan has given us such a gift. In You Can Do All Things, Kate shares her struggles with anxiety and depression, which started when she was just a child. Through her honest words, uplifting illustrations, and actionable suggestions, Kate also encourages us to keep trying and to keep going.

#4 The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman
My wife and I read this book years ago and still discuss it from time to time. I also recently gave this book to my daughter and son-in-law as a wedding gift. Dr.Chapman used his many years of working with married couples to identify the five primary ways that couples receive and express love. He referred to these five as love languages.
These five love languages include:
1. Words of Affirmation - spoken or written words of love to your partner 2. Quality Time - quality time focused on your partner 3. Receiving Gifts - thoughtful and meaningful gifts 4. Acts of Service - looking to serve your partner 5. Physical Touch - a touch that conveys love
Dr. Chapman discusses in the 5 Love Languages how couples can develop a stronger relationship through learning to understand how their significant other interprets love. Based on Dr. Chapman's experience helping couples, he helps the reader understand that it's critical for each partner to speak love to their partner in a language that is meaningful to them. Couples often struggle to grow their relationship because they speak love (for example Quality Time) to their partner, but their partner feels love the most from Acts of Service.
The 5 Love Languages helps couples learn the different love languages, how to determine the love language of their partner, and how to determine their own love language. My wife and I have used these concepts over the years to build a wonderful marriage. I know that my wife really feels loved when we spend Quality Time together. By understanding this, I can make it a priority to make sure she and I have time that we can talk and focus on each other. Likewise, she knews I feel loved through her Words of Affirmation. She makes sure she gives me the encouraging words that I value.
In summary, Dr. Chapman's book and the five love languages are all about learning to speak love in a manner that is meaningful to your partner.

#6 Raised Up By Mrs. Manly & Her L’s by Sandra J. Evers-Manly
This new, non-fiction book is a truly a title for our times by shining a light on the long-lost art and traditions of basic kindness, community-building, and love as it draws on the rich exchange between Mama Doris Manly and her children and the examples of love and life Mrs. Manly used as a foundation to raise strong, impactful contributors to society. Written by first-time author, ardent philanthropist and way-maker, Sandra Evers-Many, tells of how her mother, Mrs. Doris Manly raised her children with one-word lessons starting with just one letter - the letter L. According to the book's author, Not only did our mother teach us a variety of valuable life lessons using different words that began with the letter 'L, but she also shared that same practice with everyone she touched throughout her life.
From the importance of lifting others up and not tearing them down; to being a leader; living life to the fullest, leaving a legacy; and most importantly, finding time to laugh. Mrs. Manly's L's is a simple telling of well worn, proven and timeless examples of family, motherly influence, self-confidence, positivity and a guide to daily living, child-rearing and caring for your fellow man. From cover to cover, Mrs. Manly's L's makes a great addition to any literary collection that is good for all ages.

#7 The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown
The primary message of this book is to have the confidence, self-love, and self-belief to simply just BE YOU. In the current social media facade culture of everything is perfect, pretending to be something your not, and constantly comparing yourself to these, this is a message that is sorely needed.
People need to love themselves and be themselves. Especially if they are someone I love/my best friend as because they are that because of who they are, not who they may pretend to be or afraid to be.

#8 Buddha Was A Baller by Ryan Stock
This would be a great easy-to-read book to gift to a loved one this holiday season. It is especially a great gift idea for men who love sports and/or fitness and have room for improving their thought patterns, focus and fitness ability. Self-improvement books are often geared towards women, whereas Buddha Was a Baller is a book either sex can read and enjoy— but lots of high school coaches, young male athletes and fitness enthusiasts have already said it is a helpful book that kept them intrigued by all of the sports references and information.

#9 Daring Greatly by Brené Brown
When I think of Brene Brown, I go instantly to this book. People have developed such a fear of being vulnerable. They have developed complicated defense mechanisms to protect them from being hurt or experience feelings of shame. Loss of touch with what it means to build in-depth relationships that survive the inevitable ups and downs. Have severe misconceptions of what it means to connect with others and the healthy way to do so. And most importantly, in my opinion, don't know how to communicate with others in a way that cultivates connections, brings necessary topics to be discussed, and allow them to work through issues with others.
