5 Self-Improvement Books to Read in 2020

With every new year, comes the opportunity to explore new things. Whether it’s brushing up your knowledge on a current passion, or diving into a new language or culture, books are an incredible way to transport you into a world of knowledge. At Tapestry we strongly encourage reading amongst our residents. Reading can directly impact one’s wellness, assisting in improved memory and creativity, as well as promoting continued education.

Have a full library bursting at the seams? Let technology help with the workload. Audiobooks and digital publications on iPad’s have become increasingly popular, having the ability to house hundreds of books on one device. Listening to an audiobook during your morning routine is also a great way to “get a few pages in” for those with a busier schedule.

Joining a book club at Tapestry is also a great way to socialize and discuss some of your favorite stories. Looking for a place to start this year? We have put together five great reads to help promote overall wellness in the new year.
