THE REAL REASON 94% OF NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FAIL

Los Angeles, December 26, 2011 - During the next few weeks, making resolutions will become a global pastime. Unfortunately, so will quickly failing to achieve these heartfelt aspirations.

So what really happens to disappoint and frustrate millions of resolution-makers? How do we sabotage ourselves? What would it take to reflect Optimal Thinking in every goal we set...so 90+%, even 100%, of our New Year's resolutions succeed?

Learn the answers by interviewing Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D. the world's authority on Optimization, and author of the critically acclaimed international best-selling book OPTIMAL THINKING (Wiley 7th printing and in 16 languages). She'll discuss how suboptimal thinking creates self-sabotage and dooms our best intentions. And she'll reveal how to consistently do your best by employing the simple language of your best self: Optimal Thinking.

Dr. Glickman will explain the importance of:

* Transforming a "should" to a "must" in order to achieve your goals.

* Recognizing how every situation, even a disaster, provides an opportunity to be your best.

* Knowing that all you have, or will ever have, is the present moment.

* Accepting what's out of your control, while optimizing what's within your control.

* Examining the past year. What worked and didn't work for you? Why didn't you achieve what you wanted? Which expectations were unrealistic?

* Uncovering and eliminating self-limiting core beliefs.

* Defining what is supremely important to you for the new year...and the most constructive actions you need to take.
