About the Book: In The Janus Plan: A No-Resolutions Path to Begin Your Year with Intention, author Jobert E. Abueva challenges the traditional approach to New Year's resolutions, offering a refreshing alternative to goal-setting that often leads to frustration and burnout. Inspired by Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions, the book introduces a practical six-step framework that encourages readers to reflect on the past before planning for the future. Through honest reflection, greater self-awareness, and intentional action, Abueva helps readers move beyond short-lived resolutions and create meaningful, lasting change.
