Category: Health – True to Form by Dr. Eric Goodman

This book is probably the simplest of all. Because of our sedentary lifestyle, some of us face problems such as back pain, joint pain and bad postures. In some cases, it gets worse overtime and in extreme cases things are beyond repair. Other than the bodily pain, our mental health gets impacted and it hurts our pockets as well. This book will explain to you the human physiology in very simple words and will guide you with very simple exercises on how to move better, breathe better and get back to your healthy natural posture.

Category: Spirituality and Mindset – The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday

Ryan Holiday is probably one of the finest authors of the current times on subjects such as spirituality and mindset. The books draws its inspiration from ancient Greek wisdom on how turn challenges into opportunities; how to convert obstacles into a roadmap for success. The book came into publication in 2014 and since then its fan-following has kept rising including Arnold Schwarzenegger and several sports and media celebrities. This book is on recommendation list on the website of Canadian Armed Forces as well.

Category: Financial Health – The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

Financial growth and investment are an extremely important aspect of everyone’s life. If you have absolute no knowledge of money and investment, this is possibly the best books available for you. Now, even if you are investment guru, this book is for you as well. Because the book not only teaches about money, it also teaches about the behavioural aspects related to money which are, in most times, more important than the knowledge of finance.

Category: Career – An Intelligent Career by Michael Arthur

If you feel that you are stuck in your career, then this book should be on your reading list this year. In an ever changing world, a career in private companies is bound to go through several phases or transitions. With each passing day, the technology is changing and with it changes the expectations from employees. Every few months or even weeks, some jobs and roles become redundant, but the new business brings new opportunities and career possibilities.

 

All these books are available for sale on Amazon. These are available in local libraries in Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton.
