Share 8 Titles to Help Keep Your Resolutions

You can’t stand resolutions, right? Yeah, we know. But we here at OTS make them, too. Kevin is going to read the 109 titles on his bookshelves at home (follow our Facebook feed to see how he does). Allison is going to paint 365 paintings in 2015, and she says “it doesn’t at all matter if each and every one suck.” And Caitlin is tackling what she calls “The Stack of 1,000 Page Books” (War and Peace, Parallel Stories) on her own shelves.

In this spirit, we have some titles which stand the test of time as we seek help keeping our resolutions. These authorities in health, diet, relationships, money, love, organization, and whatever else we want this glorious new year are going to help us get after it in 2015. So dig in, and nail those resolutions with us!

Why Marriages Succeed or Fail
by John Gottman, PhD

Written in the mid-1990s, psychologist John Gottman offers insight on what makes a marriage last. Time hasn't weakened much of anything here. You'll come to understand that more sex doesn't necessarily improve a marriage, frequent arguing will not lead to divorce, financial problems do not always spell trouble in a relationship, and so on. Dr. Gottman teaches you how to recognize attitudes that doom a marriage and provides practical advice that will help you understand and make the most of your relationship.
