I’ve been working with NPR to discuss a number of the week. This time it’s 44 — the percentage of Americans who said in December that they’ll probably make a new year’s resolution for 2015. But research suggests that most of them will fail in their goals before the year is through. Speaking with NPR’s Weekend Edition team, I explored the most common new year’s resolutions (shown in the chart below) and whether failure deters people from trying again next January.
Have a listen and tell us what you think in the comments. You can also read more about our start-of-the-year promises. And if you’re not already sick of hearing it, happy new year!
