The author discusses his book "The Janus Plan: A No-Resolutions Path to Begin Your Year with Intention" and provides strategies on how to "have your best New Year with no resolutions required."

About the Book (from the publisher): 

Research shows that 91% of New Year’s resolutions fail—many by “Quitter’s Day,” the second Tuesday of January. The annual cycle of bold declarations followed by quiet disappointment leaves millions discouraged, exhausted, and wondering what’s wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with you. The problem is the resolution model itself.

In "The Janus Plan," award-winning author and thought leader Jobert Abueva offers a powerful alternative to brittle resolutions—one rooted in reflection, ritual, behavioral insight, and strategic planning. Inspired by Janus, the Roman god of thresholds who looks simultaneously to the past and the future, this six-part framework helps readers approach transitions with clarity, intention, and momentum

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify the values that anchor your decisions
• Choose commitments that match your energy and priorities
• Build monthly and quarterly practices that keep you aligned
• Navigate emotional snags with clarity and confidence
• Mark transitions with simple rituals that support renewal
• Recalibrate throughout the year

Perfect for individuals, leaders, and organizations seeking meaningful change, "The Janus Plan" transforms renewal from a one-day promise into a repeatable discipline.
