Why You Should READ MORE [BOOKS]... IN 2022 + Video References Below
I know "all too well" that everyone loves making New Year Resolutions, but this is definitely one you should probably make (and keep)!
Hey Guys!
It’s that time of year again, when we look optimistically 😒 at the new year as if it was some unmistakably land of promise.
At the very least, we hope that this new year works out well for us (or at least, doesn’t end up nearly as bad as 2020, 2021..). You know what I’m talking about.
A lot of us, try to better ourselves by making New Year’s Resolutions as if expecting old habits to change magically 🦄 when 1st of January rolls by.

I also used Chapter 7 from Hye K. Pae’s book “Script Effects as the Hidden Drive of the Mind, Cognition, and Culture.”

The book is open access, so you can download it if you like :)
Hope you have a lovely start to the new year!
