abcreads: New & Novel: Wellness

We're already most of the way through January - how are those New Year's resolutions going? We're on the fence about resolutions. If they help you, great; if they make you feel bad for not being able to fulfill your goals, that's not so great. So, we'd like to gently open up a discussion about new wellness books. Not diet and exercise, not even health and fitness, but wellness. There are some books on our list that include diet and exercise, but we've tried not to make them the be-all and end-all of the discussion, because we want you to be healthy, not (necessarily) skinny; we want you to feel like a life change is within reach, but can include baby steps to get there, and should involve your mind as much as your body. How'd we do? Let us know in the comments!
