It’s Monday morning and you’ve pressed the snooze button for the second time. Have you been feeling out of focus with all that's happening in the world? Has it been hard trying to get back to reality and stay motivated? Well, trust me, I’ve been there.
For the past 3 months, it’s been hard to wake up at a reasonable time, make our beds, or even put on real clothes that aren't a new tie-dye sweat set (from Aria Rose, duh). This has stunted my motivation to get things done and my lack of purpose has been at an all-time high. So we ask ourselves, “What should I do?”
“Should I binge watch Gossip Girl for the third time?” Maybe not.
A great way to pass the time is by picking up a book, which can reduce stress and improve focus and concentration. Reading a book can introduce you to new ideas and perspectives that can have a long-lasting impact.
So, why not leave Netflix for another time and find a way to find yourself.
These five books are destined to inspire you and kick start writing your own story.

About the book:
In this refreshingly entertaining how-to guide, bestselling author and world-traveling success coach, Jen Sincero, serves up 27 bitesized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, sage advice, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word, helping you to: Identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that stop you from getting what you want, Create a life you totally love. And create it NOW, Make some damn money already. The kind you've never made before.

About the book:
This Is Not A Fashion Story is the down and dirty tale of how a Long Island-born teenager became one of the most recognizable names in fashion. It's a story that proves success isn't about a college degree or who your parents are. It's about trusting your gut, knowing when to take risks and fighting to get what you want in life, love and business. But above all it's the story of how a young girl made in the concrete jungle that is New York City--and how you can too.

About the book:
In this challenging but conversational book, Rachel exposes the twenty lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we’ve told ourselves so often we don’t even hear them anymore.

About the book:
She'll do so by sharing her personal and business story. Lisa knows that creating your dream job requires hard work, patience, and experience. She'll give advice, in big and small ways, about exactly how to do that, from starting a company to ditching a relationship that isn't working to becoming a fabulous boss. And with the great, accessible writing style that has made PopSugar such a hit, she'll make it fun!

About the book:
Despite not excelling at school, and being fired from her first job, she dreamed big, worked hard, surrounding herself with the best, took risks, and built her own personal brand, which is now a favorite with celebrities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, and Kylie Jenner. Her book is brimming with good sense and great advice.
