UnResolution: How to Ditch Resolutions Forever, Live Life by Design, and Achieve Your Dreams is an inspirational self-help book written by Tommy Baker. Baker was, to all intents and purposes, a remarkable success at a relatively early age. He owned a chain of fitness centers and was surrounded by supportive family and friends -- but he wanted more. There was something missing in the equation for his life and future. He was working entirely too many hours and days, and found himself missing out on life. On New Year's Eve, 2014, he left the party he had been attending, stood out in the freezing cold on a local high school track and made himself a promise. Speaking into the recorder on his smartphone, he committed to a whole new life, a major change in how he lived his life. He'd be living in the perfect environment, one that was inspiring and exciting; he'd have a new group of supportive and inspiring friends; he'd develop a business that would engage him while not dominating his life and free time, and he'd find the relationship he had always dreamed of. Baker was committed to doing all these things within one year, and, that he was determined to accomplish it all while feeling better about himself and his life than ever before. He did do exactly that, and, in UnResolution, Baker shows his readers how they can accomplish great things for themselves as well. He begins with an explanation of how the brain functions in lock-step and how to use the hard-wiring of habit to work magical changes. Then he sets out step-by-step programs for life-changing solutions.

Tommy Baker's breakout inspirational self-help book, UnResolution: How to Ditch Resolutions Forever, Live Life by Design, and Achieve Your Dreams, is not the book your friends, family and in-laws will want you reading. The status quo and stability of a life spent secure in even the most soul-stifling job is considered by many to be what one does, what responsible people accept, settle down to and live with. Baker gives his readers ample doses of enthusiasm and abundant reasons why they shouldn't settle for that gray existence, but he also equips them with the knowledge and mental skill-set to take that leap into the unknown and, not only land safely, but achieve more than they could ever realize. Baker's story is mesmerizing; he's a gifted coach who communicates his ideas and issues irresistible challenges in a compelling and conversational style. I found his presentation of the material to be well thought-out and enjoyed working through the blueprints he sets out for transforming dreams into reality. Whether you're looking to make a major change in your life or just tweak it a bit here and there, Baker offers sensible and dynamic ways to make those aspirations achievable. UnResolution: How to Ditch Resolutions Forever, Live Life by Design, and Achieve Your Dreams is highly recommended.
