12 books for happier living

I have created this booklist for Parents on the Doman Programs to increase their quality of life in relationships, personal development, and organization skills. I think it's vital that we continue our own personal education alongside our child's growth. We can always make our lives better so we are happier and healthier. And if you are thinking: “Morgan, there is no way that I can find time to read a book!” Then you and your partner need to begin with Fair Play by Eve Rodsky to create more space for your own pursuits and self-care.
