I wanted to share the books that I have read this year that have made a really big difference in my life. Some of these books were recommended by woman on this site.
Harriet Lerner's books (Dance of anger, Dance of intimacy) Helped me learn to speak my mind and speak my truth.
Attachment Focused Parenting- I had never realized the importance of delighting in your child and laughing with them. Maybe bec I am overwhelmed in many ways and it wasn't coming naturally to me that I found this so life changing.
Good Mother Bad Mother- learned that there really is no such thing. And how important it is to reach out to family and friends when raising children, that it was never meant to be able to do it alone.
The difficult child-so validating
The explosive child-learned a new way to parent my child in a way that works for both of us
If anyone would like to add to this thread, be my guest 😊

ANYTHING by Rabbi Lazar Brody or Rabbi Shalom Arush. I can't get enough of it. I'm constantly re-reading these and getting more from them; it's like a never ending fountain of wisdom and emuna.
"Parenting with Love and Logic", both books, for little kids, and the one for teens.
"Will I Ever Be Good Enough?", daughters of NPD mothers.
The website "Womb of Light". Nurturing and parenting your inner mother. One step beyond parenting your inner child. LIFE CHANGING!

Rebbetzin Jungreis books changed my life by validating many of my ideas and giving them depth.
Holy woman saved my life by teaching me to be grateful even with "only" one child at the time.

Miracles of Creation by Rabbi Dovid Brown (the most fascinating book about our own world and existence)
In the Shadow of the Ladder by Mark and Yedidia Cohen (read only if you want to change your world upside down - it is a work on Kabbala from Rabbi Ashlag)
2020 Vision by Roy Neuberger (It's a great novel based on one interpretation of how the arrival of Moshiach might happen but can get you really anticipating and to make aliyah.)
Anything from the Ramchal like Derech Hashem
These books have opened up my eyes after 40 years of being asleep in this world. And I was always a big reader. None of the books are new but new for me. Each for different reasons. I keep reading the first two over and over and over again until I can incorporate them into my mind and understand them to the best of my ability.

some books that I have learned from this year- I've been doing a lot of reading
"the joy diet" by Martha Beck, when I googled her I found that she's a little controversial, "alternative" lifestyle etc but I found the book helpful and pretty parve- I'm sensitive to cursing and the likE.
"The charge" by Brendon Burchard
the success principles by jack canfield
"No Matter What!: 9 Steps to Living the Life You Love"- Lisa Nichols- recommended on imamother
"Your Killer Emotions"

The 2 books that have truly inspired me are
1) "out of the depths" by chief Rabbi Lau
2) "incredible!" By Nachum Seltzer. It is the life story of Rabbi Yossi Wallis. I haven't finished it yet but it is amazing and inspirational.
