I just finished a fascinating book called The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, by Charles Duhigg. Everything we do in our life is a series of habits. Once we recognize that “it’s all habit”, it makes it believable that habits can change....

Welcome to the first Friday of the New Year! Did anyone else set New Year’s resolutions, only to waver by the end of the first week? (My younger brother shared with me that he went to the gym on 1/1 and it was packed. The next day, hardly anyone was there.) It happens...
