What’s next after a delightful consumer Christmas? New year resolutions to shed our guilty consciences for eating too much, not exercising enough, or not keeping budget. If we are really serious, we will cook up new resolve to spend time with family, do things that “count,” or make a difference.
In the event that you need some encouragement to resolve, the publishing industry is ready to sell, err serve, with a slew of handy reads for our half-hearted resolutions. As Steve Almond points out in an NPR interview “A Year of ‘Year Of’ Books,” the publishing industry has a formula for making a buck off the resolution reader.
Seriously, are you making a New Year Resolution? If so, what is it and do you think you will keep it? As for me, I am resolving to consistently breathe this year, month after month, week after week, day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute. I know; I’m a die-hard.
