The book "New Year's Resolutions: The Guide to Getting it Right" is more than a book about resolutions.  This book really does provide great advice on achieving resolute goals, and goals in general.There are three main areas where I believe the book excels.  First, the author stresses the importance of writing down your goals.  This seems like such a simple thing but very few people actually employ this tactic and keep the goal visible.  Next, I appreciate that Mr. Tokan highlights the importance of monitoring the emotion associated with the goal.  In other words, it is critically important to maintain an "end state" emotion when thinking about the goal.  This allows one to feel the achievement instead of judging our current position in relation to where we want to be.  Finally, I enjoyed the advice to hang out with friends, or make new friends, who have achieved the goals you have set for yourself.  You cannot surround yourself with people who will be negative towards your goal and may even want you to fail because they were unable to achieve something similar.The bottom line for this book is, it contains very solid advice that will help you achieve your resolutions if you employ the tactics provided.  It's a very quick read but will add value to anyone who is looking to increase their chances to succeed in their goals.
