We haven't seen the bottom of mindbodygreen's mail table in weeks as new fall books are dropped off in droves every day. As editors, it's our duty to scour the season's most anticipated wellness texts before they officially hit shelves. (Tough job, we know, but someone's got to do it.)

We've whittled the list down to a pile of 11 titles we can't stop flipping through. From a guidebook to the home trend that will follow hygge to a stunning collection of ayurvedic recipes, they cover everything you need to make this autumn your most nourishing one yet.

The Self-Love Experiment by Shannon Kaiser

Happiness expert extraordinaire Shannon Kaiser has been contributing to mbg from the beginning (she even did a video course with us!), so we were thrilled to take a peek at her latest book. What we found was an approachable, friendly guide to strategies that can help you embrace self-love and value yourself above all else.

The Trump presidency was a big wakeup call for cookbook author Julia Turshen, and now she's all about using food as a form of political activism. Part guidebook, part recipes, this text dives into how to build community, gain strength, and come together with food. Bonus: Book proceeds go to the ACLU!

Weekday Weekend By Emma Chapman and Elsie Larson

The sister duo behind A Beautiful Mess just released their first cookbook, and it's a feast for the senses in more ways than one. The inventive recipes like snowpea and pineapple stir-fry with cauliflower rice and steel-cut oats with sunflower seed risotto have us so excited to adopt their philosophy of clean eating on the weekdays and treats on the weekends.

Two of mbg's resident crystal experts Heather and Timmi, the women behind Energy Muse, have answered all of our burning gemstone questions with this new book. It's a fun, visual guide to using crystals in your everyday routine. Prepare to spend your next paycheck exclusively on citrine and amethyst.

Skin Deep by Bee Shapiro

The book features today's "beauty icons" and their real idea about what it means to be beautiful, written by Anna Wintour's daughter Bee. Our senior wellness and beauty editor, Lindsay, loves its 360-approach. "There's a section called 'diet + fitness' for every woman profiled and that information is even more interesting (!) than their beauty routines because let's be real: skin care starts with self-care," she says.
