Why Your New Year's Resolutions Keep Failing (And What Actually Works)
Picture yourself on January 1st, fired up with motivation, ready to transform your entire life. You're going to exercise daily, eat perfectly, meditate for an hour, and finally become that ideal version of yourself. By February, you're back on the couch, convinced something's fundamentally broken inside you. But here's the truth that changes everything: you're not the problem. Your approach is. For decades, we've been sold a lie about willpower and motivation being the keys to change. Stanford behavior scientist BJ Fogg spent twenty years discovering what actually works-and it's almost ridiculously simple. The secret isn't heroic effort or radical transformation. It's understanding how behavior actually functions and working with your psychology instead of against it. This isn't another self-help gimmick. Over 40,000 people have used this method to transform their lives, from tech leaders in Silicon Valley to overwhelmed parents to people battling serious health challenges. The approach works because it's based on how humans actually operate, not how we wish we operated.
