Publisher's summary

Learn the secret to making changes that stick! Every so often people get inspired (again!) to lose weight, to get organized, to start saving, or to stop worrying - but a few months later they give up, frustrated. It doesn't have to be that way.

In This Year I Will..., best-selling author M.J. Ryan offers breakthrough wisdom and coaching to help listeners make this time the time that change becomes permanent.

Why do people find it so hard to change? The secret is that everyone has their own formula for making changes that stick, but most people don't know what theirs is. They think there is one way to lose five pounds, and another way to stay on top of their e-mail, but they don't realize that for all changes, there is one system that works best for each individual.

This Year I Will... helps you lock on to your unique formula for planning, implementing, and seeing a life change through, so you can use it again and again to tackle anything else you'd like to do.

For anyone who has broken a New Year's resolution, fallen off a diet, or given up on fulfilling a dream, the ingenious strategies, inspiring stories, and sheer motivational energy of This Year I Will... will help you make a promise to yourself that you can actually keep.

Critic reviews

"If you're struggling and think that one more title can't possibly make a difference, think again. M.J. Ryan has the rare gift of breaking things down into clear pieces that can be tackled." (Laura Berman Fortgang, author of Now What? 90 Days to a New Life Direction)

Poor reading skills

So difficult to listen due to poor reading. I could not keep listening even though I believe it can be great if read without so many mistakes.

narrator needs water

very hard to listen to. couldnt tell you about content but I can tell you the narrator swallowed 5,287 times during the course of reading this book. you can hear it every time she opens and closes her mouth, very distracting and unprofessional.

Needs a downloadable notes/handout to be of any use

I listen to a lot of audiobooks -- both fiction and nonfiction. Often there will be handouts/notes you can download to reinforce the verbal presentation, There isn't one for this book, and its presentation is so rapid-fire you'll never retain what points you should consider in preparing to make the changes you want. I would have returned this had I not waited too long to listen.

Dont bother!! Same ol.. Oh and BAD reading skills!

I don't understand the vanity that it takes, for an author to spend so much time writing a book, then stumble over their own words while reading!!
I returned after a week, could not finish!!
