Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Fast forward a few months (or a few weeks) into any given new year, and most peoples' resolutions have been either forgotten or abandoned. As one of the creators of the bestselling Random Acts of Kindness series, author and life coach Ryan outlines a concrete and practical strategy for following through on a resolution while dealing with all of life's other ups and downs: "One of the tricks about change is that we have to figure out how to do it in the midst of everything else." In encouraging, easy-to-read chapters, Ryan tackles the obstacles that keep readers from their goals and provides helpful tools and language to quell negative, self-defeating thoughts. Championing affirmation and cognitive therapy strategies, Ryan urges readers to switch from "why" thinking to "what could be possible" thinking, using "right brain" skills to achieve success: "The right brain is future oriented. It's where our aspirations, our dreams, our longings reside." Ryan's handy self-help will prove welcome for anyone seeking gentle but solid help in achieving personal change.

Better than I thought....,
By Julie starseed (ontario, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Year I Will...: How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True (Hardcover)
I'm usually weary about self-help books, but for some reason I picked this one up. The book is short little chapters that offer bite size advice on how to chage a bad habit or create a new one. There's technically nothing new in this book, but what i found refreshing was its approach. Usually self-help books give you a set a rules to follow or step by step regime to get to your goal. this book recognizes that people are different and the methods are always different and shifting and what is important is your mental attitude towards change: recognizing it's hard work, persistence and being more generous and optimistic when you fail. It's a lot more helpful and cheaper than buying a book for changing every bad habit (ie. getting out of debt, weight loss, finding a new career etc).

Riveting,
By Elise (Chateauguay, Quebec, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Year I Will...: How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True (Hardcover)
I loved it: both the format and the lesson. M.J. Ryan knows the human heart. The book has 3 main parts : 1) preparing to change; 2) getting into action and 3) keeping going along with 12 tips for keeping your promise to yourself. I also like the quotes. Even though the "chapters" are short, I could not put the book down, just reading one more... until I was through. In simple words, ackowledging that changing a habit is easier said than done, M.J. Ryan shows you how to address your inertia and face your fears by bringing changes to your lifestyle, one step at a time or, if you are stuck, in tiny steps. I also found out that I had many things to celebrate and how to tap into the energy I used to overcome former challenges in order to change my other habits. I am looking forward to this coming year!

I've looked at a lot of books on the subject of changing habits. This is one of the best. And cheap.
