Volume 298

December 10, 2025

Here’s a NOT so bold prediction… in the weeks straight ahead, societal chatter about New Year’s Resolutions will abound. While aspirational bursts typify our annual rite of passage, what behavioral patterns (challenges) that motivate us initially often cause regret subsequently?

Human nature exhibits a tendency, personally and professionally, for us to remain stuck in current habits, instead of actualizing substantive change.


We know in…


  • reality, even under ideal circumstances, that change is difficult. 
  • practice, you experience ambivalence with patients daily.

Believing successful Change Talk is Mission Critical, we devoted volumes to learning from thought-provoking research. Avid readers will remember

We said:


“To gain wisdom about ‘The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be,’ read Katy Milkman’s How to Change. A favorite line in her phenomenal book (page 192): ‘This isn’t rocket science, but it does seem to be underappreciated science.’”


With New Year’s Resolutions season imminent, an apropos refresher


“Chapter 1’s Getting Started highlights ‘Look For Fresh Start Opportunities’ or ‘moment’s engines’ which are ‘more attractive times to kick-start goal pursuits.’ Summary points:


  • “An ideal time to consider pursuing change is after a fresh start.”
  • “Fresh starts increase your motivation to change because they give you either a real clean slate or the impression of one, and they boost your optimism about the future.”
  • “Fresh starts can be calendar dates that mark new beginnings (a new year, season, month, or week)”
  • “A particularly effective time to encourage other people to pursue positive change is after fresh starts.”

Because behavior change is difficult, organized catalysts are integral. It’s exciting to consider how applying the Science of Change will raise public health awareness about the Science of hearing loss comorbidities. From one Science to another, gain Flywheel Effect momentum.


For all those times you’ve wondered or been asked, “What’s our next marketing campaign?” HDI’s Educate Well Monthly program consistently provides intuitively effective answers. 2026 starts by focusing on these Did You Know? topics in logical sequence:
