Happy New Year! Okay, we got that cliche out of the way. But how will you ensure that you have a happy and prosperous new year? The books on our list this week will help you accomplish that goal.

Whether you’re one for resolutions or not, almost everyone uses the top of the year to take stock of their lives and make changes, tweaks and improvements.

Spiritual author Carolyn Myss’ Archetype is a great starting place because it starts with you, asking that ever important question: What makes you tick? In her book, you’ll find out. Seven Years Younger will hopefully do what the title suggests.

And Pound Foolish will help you get your money right. When all of that work is done, have some fun with The Vanishing of Esme Lennox.

Get the complete list at PostScript’d.
