A lot of us have a tendency of always associating love with romantic love directed toward another person. But the truth is, love is so much more than that. In fact, self-love is practically the key to unlocking any other kind of love. Despite what some may say, self-love is not selfish; it’s necessary. It’s about treating yourself with the same love, respect, and kindness you’d show to others. Take some time to dedicate yourself to self-care. Here are six books that will aid you in nourishing your soul and spirit.
