Why “New Year, New You” Fails (And What Actually Works Instead)

Every January millions of people decide this will finally be the year everything changes. They buy gym memberships. Start diets. Purchase planners. Create ambitious goals.

But I've also learned something encouraging. Most endings are not really endings at all. They're beginnings in disguise.
