With the new year well on its way, maybe you are looking for something inspiring, motivating, or self-improving in your next read? Well, its not to much to ask for. Check out the Candy Covered Books' sort by Self Help subgenre.

Last time author Greg Behrendt dished it out with brutal honesty in He's Just Not That into You: The No-excuses Truth to Understanding Guys, this time he teams up with wife Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt as they deliver the goods with laugh out loud -ohnotheydihdn't- humor. In the wake of the red heart holiday, get off the couch and get the -in your face- truth you've been avoiding. Whether no one has had the guts to tell you to your face or you've been down this road before, here it is: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken : The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy. Sometimes seeing what you already know in print is the trick.

For those of you seeking a role model more about the poise and less about the raw, What Would Jackie Do? An Inspired Guide to Distinctive Living by Shelly Branch and Sue Callaway may be more your speed. Whether you want to be good or bad, or fun or frivolous, a little self-reflection and 'me' time may be just what you're looking for. Just don't take our words for it, find out what the critics are saying!

Sometimes we'll take all the help we can get.
