New Year’s Resolutions in the Service of Others

Did you make and keep a 2022 New Year’s resolution?

If so, congratulations. You’re part of a select group. At least according to one study, only 9 percent of Americans who commit themselves to change in the New Year actually finish this marathon. In fact, by the end of January, up to 43 percent of us—I am usually in this company—have already abandoned our quest to lose weight, get into better shape, or save money.
