The author starts off speaking the absolute truth about how we always end the old year and start a new one:1.Realizing what goals we didn't accomplish in the old year2.Making plans to accomplish those goals in the year3.Like the previous year, we end yet another year with unaccomplished goalsHe also gives valid reasons as to why people stop proceeding to reach these goals, or as he puts it, taking actions. I personally find his reasons to be ones we're all guilty of. I think other readers will too, and with the truth before their eyes, they will want to change - using this book as their motivation in doing so.The author suggested to readers that they celebrate small milestones, which I can add a personal testimony to as this being effective. If you follow his suggestion on this, you will be motivated to move forward to bigger goals.He gives another suggestion worth following: keeping a picture of whatever you want. I've done this as well and find it useful in achieving a goal.Both of these suggestions show me that the author has a keen awareness of what it takes to stay motivated in a world that's filled with negativity.I appreciate the author reminding readers that our breakthrough is "always close by when things become the most difficult for us." Little reminders like this can be meaningful in a time of struggle.Overall, the author's way of thinking is clear and fresh; showing that in order to achieve good goals for the incoming year, you must be in a positive state: surrounded by positive people, thinking positive, and acting positive.The author is so encouraging towards a better life that you can't read this book and not want to change - it's not possible. Even if you experience a setback - as we all occasionally do - rereading this book will help you get back on track to achieving your goals.After finishing this book, I felt inspired to live a better life by working harder than I already do to achieve my goals. Only this time, I have a clear understanding of how to make those goals come to pass.Therefore, based on my reading experience, I recommend this book to anyone serious about accomplishing their goals for the New Year.
